Jobs created by the central government are more diverse. The Council of Agriculture is recruiting people to take part in mountain patrols, conservation activities, and forest fire prevention work; jobs provided by the Environmental Protection Administration include recycling, beach cleanup, and cleaning of public toilets; and the Ministry of Economic Affairs has organized teams to protect mountain stream environments. Central government agencies plan to create 12,000 jobs this year.
而中央部會提供的工作機會更是「包山包海」，例如農委會招募民眾參與巡山、保育、森林防火等；環保署的資源回收、清理沙灘、掃公廁等環境維護工作；經濟部的河川守護隊等，今年度新增 1 萬 5,000 個名額，已陸續釋出中。
