The mismatch stems mainly from the fact that most of the available jobs today involve low-paying manual labor. Choosy older job seekers tend to shun such work, while young people entering the job market for the first time are heading in droves for the more attractive service and high-tech sectors.
其中落差出現在，目前市場釋出的工作機會以高勞務、低薪資的工作居多，不但中高齡就業族挑剔，社會新鮮人更是一窩蜂偏向光鮮亮麗的服務業和高科技業。
