根據勞動部調查結果，十五至二十九歲的青年勞工去年平均每月薪資為兩萬九千四百二十七元，而青年初次就業薪資為兩萬五千五百四十元，顯示多數青年勞工轉換工作時，薪資都有提升。
以年齡來看，二十歲到二十四歲青年平均每月薪資為兩萬五千八百六十八元，初次就業薪資為兩萬三千一百一十九元。
青年勞工出社會後，第一份工作平均花費兩個月才找到，當中高達五成青年勞工在初次尋職曾遭遇困難，主要原因為經歷不足跟不知道自己適合做哪方面工作。
青年勞工初次就業考慮因素則以「工作穩定性」及「薪資及福利」為主。

Heavy rain brought by Typhoon Ragasa caused the barrier lake above Matai’an Creek in Hualien’s Guangfu Township to overflow on Sept. 23 of last year. The sudden rush of water and mud destroyed a major bridge and swept through nearby villages, leaving significant damage in its wake. The barrier lake was formed in July, when heavy rain caused landslides and blocked the creek’s natural flow. As rainwater built up, the lake grew increasingly unstable. When Typhoon Ragasa hit, the water level rose rapidly and finally overflowed. In the aftermath, volunteers across Taiwan, known as “shovel supermen,” stepped in
