In October 2008, Taiwan's Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) launched a "Jobs Now Project," under which any private-sector firm that hires an ROC citizen who has been unemployed for over three months can receive a government subsidy of NT $ 10,000 per month for up to six months.
2008 年 10 月，勞委會首先推出「立即上工計畫」，只要民間企業雇用一位失業超過 3 個月的本國勞工，每月就可獲得一萬元補助，最長補助半年，執行三個多月以來，已協助 1 萬 3,000 人就業（預定名額 1 萬 5,000 人）。
