A 20-minute drive away, at the Wujiang Industrial Park, which is a cut below Suzhou, staff salaries are virtually halved. In the Wujiang industrial park, after deducting RMB120 for food and RMB30 for lodging each month, the actual amount paid out by a company to each worker can be as little as RMB300 (about NT $ 1200).
二十分鐘車程外，較蘇州低一檔次的吳江工業區中，員工的薪資幾乎折半，一家台商作業員透露，在扣除一百二十元飯錢和三十元住宿費後，他們的實領薪資只有三百人民幣出頭，約合台幣一千二百元。
