A study by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting & Statistics, Executive Yuan done in October of this year shows that there is a shortage of workers in the production of clothing, metal, fine machinery, and electric power as well as in the electronic industry. In spite of this lack, it is still not as serious as that of the construction industry.
根據行政院主計處今年十月所做的一項調查顯示：目前製造業中，以成衣、金屬、精密器械和電力及電子業四個行業，短缺工人的比例較高，但都還不及營造業嚴重。
