Professor Lin Chu-chia of National Chengchi University's Department of Economics says that over the last ten years, the number of suitable positions has shrunk as traditional manufacturing and high-tech industry jobs have moved abroad. The industries that have stayed in Taiwan, such as services and finance, have stagnated due to an underperforming economy and weakening purchasing power-conditions that have hurt the overall employment market.
政治大學經濟系教授林祖嘉分析，最近 10 年，包括傳統製造業及高科技產業的低階製程紛紛外移，相關職缺大幅減少；留在國內的內需型服務業及金融產業，又因為經濟景氣低迷、消費能力弱化而疲弱不振，致使整體就業環境漸趨嚴峻。
