00:01Taiwan's Government Statistics Bureau has found rising wages after crunching the numbers from January through April.
00:07Average monthly pay in April was around US$1,500. That's up almost 3% from April last year.
00:15But that growth is unevenly distributed among sectors, leading to widely different reactions to the news.
00:39It's an assessment job market watchers agree with. Strong demand for AI and chips means tech is generally in the
00:46lead.
01:04But the Government Statistics Bureau says things are overall looking up for workers.
01:09It says with adjustments to minimum wage and companies raising pay of their own accord, wage growth could continue, maybe
01:17even outpacing inflation.
