Unemployment in Taiwan last August was reported to be 4.1 percent, a twenty-year high, with joblessness increasing among those with specialized traning, leading many to say, "A better education doesn't necessarily mean a better job."
據內政部統計，去年八月，台灣地區失業率曾達百分之四點一，是廿年來從未出現的紀錄。而且，大專程度以上的失業人口正逐漸增加，「更高教育不等於更好職業」的呼聲，不絕於耳。
