Taiwan human resources agency "104 Human Resources Bank" released the "2022 Taiwan Salary and Welfare Survey Report" on the 22nd, showing that the overall annual salary of Taiwanese workers was 677,000 yuan, a seven-year high and a five-year high.

According to the latest survey, driven by dual factors such as labor shortage and inflation , the top three industries and positions in Taiwan's annual salary this year are still focusing on high-tech industries, among which the semiconductor industry has an average annual salary of 969,000 yuan, which is the "seven consecutive dominances"; followed by 841,000 yuan in the telecommunications and communications industry, and 820,000 yuan in the computer and consumer electronics manufacturing industry. The top three high-paying positions are: the average annual salary of analog IC design engineers is 1.366 million yuan, the digital IC design engineers are 1.275 million yuan, and the IC layout engineers are 1.078 million yuan. The average annual salary of the top five high-paying positions is more than one million yuan.

"104 Human Resources College" General Manager Hua Zixin analyzed that as of now, the "104 Human Resources Bank" website still has as many as one million job opportunities, with an annual increase of 17%, indicating that companies are short of workers and difficult to find talents. In addition, the technology industry performed strongly in the first half of the year, and inflation rose. In October, the consumer price index -year growth rate reached 2.72%. Enterprises have a salary increase and keep people attentive, promoting the growth of the overall average annual salary.

However, Hua Zixin also pointed out that the financial industry faces an impact of about 31% annualized decline in trading volume of Taiwan stocks and epidemic prevention insurance claims this year, with annual salary dropping by 7.9%; the electronic components industry was affected by the recession, with annual salary dropping by 2.6%; the Jianye industry has cooled down the housing market due to interest rate hikes, with annual salary dropping by 1.9%. In terms of

year-end bonus, a survey by Human Resources Bank pointed out that Taiwanese companies are expected to pay an average of 1.33 months of year-end bonus this year, setting a nine-year high. Among some industries, the financial industry won the championship for 11 years in 2.07 months, and the catering industry took the last place with 0.85 months.

In addition, 95.9% of companies expect to pay year-end bonuses this year, with an average of 1.33 months, rewriting the 9-year high. Each worker can receive 7 more year-end bonuses compared to last year. The weakest year-end performance is the accommodation and catering industry, of which 89.1% of the industry will have an annual output of 0.85 months, which is the last of all industries. However, compared with the 0.5 months last year, it shows that the accommodation and catering industry is gradually emerging from the shadow of the epidemic.

However, many Taiwanese netizens expressed their disbelief after seeing the relevant news. Some people left messages sighing, "Hehe," "Sorry! I lowered the average again", and some netizens pointed out, "Don't just rely on engineers, those who have no jobs and no food, and those who have gone bankrupt, should you add OnePlus?", "I can only say that the gap between the rich and the poor is even bigger", "Have you heard of the Dutch disease?" In addition, some Taiwanese netizens also sarcastically said, "Shouldn't the fraud industry be ranked first?" and "Thank you 1450 for helping to raise the level."
