One thing that particularly worries Anita Liu is how the application of the Labor Standards Law will affect employment in the many sectors of the economy which are just coming under its umbrella. At present, both workers and employers in these industries have only a vague idea of the regulations, so redundant middle-aged to older workers can still find jobs as, say, concierges, security guards or cleaners in large office or apartment blocks.
劉玉蘭尤其憂心的是，目前許多行業才剛要納入勞基法，勞資雙方對這些規定都還「霧煞煞」，所以中高齡資遣勞工去做大廈管理員、保全或清潔工，還可以勉強找一口飯吃。
