Over the past 10 years, incomes for people of all income levels have largely been flat. The single exception is for those with at least a four-year university degree. For them, no matter the current state of the general economy, incomes have declined, from NT $ 51,375 per month in 2000 to NT $ 42,388 per month last year — a drop of 17.49 %!
這 10 年來，各種學歷者的每月收入基本上都是持平的，唯獨「大學及以上學歷」者，不論景氣好壞，其收入卻反常地一路下滑，從 2000 年的 5 萬 1,375 元降到去年的 4 萬 2,388 元，降幅高達 17.49 %！
