Wu Kuo-hsiung, director of the statistics office of the Ministry of Examination, says the main reason is private sector prosperity. From 1986 to 1987 the economy grew by 11.86 %, the highest in nine years.
考選部統計室主任吳國雄指出，這幾年來民間景氣熱絡，前年我國經濟成長率為百分之十一．八六，為九年來最高，各行各業的員工遽增，使就業機會多，也願意提供較高的待遇，無形中刺激了人力往民間流動。
