In Taipei City, many Aborigines have relatively well-paying service jobs (particularly as nursing assistants), but even Aborigines with steady jobs in Kaohsiung and elsewhere are still mostly employed in construction and manufacturing. These figures show that the "less urbanized" the locale, the more difficult the working conditions, and the fewer employment opportunities available.
另外，在受雇從事規律性工作方面，除了台北市的都原較多從事收入較高的服務業（尤其是醫院看護）之外，高雄市及其他縣市的族人，主要還是從事營造與製造業，顯示愈是住在「都市化」程度較低的地方，都原面對的工作條件就更嚴苛，工作機會也更加稀少。
