Half of Taiwan's working people hope to ditch their current jobs
and take on new ones despite the bleak job market in the island
province, according to the result of a survey released Tuesday.
The survey conducted by Taiwan-based udnjob.com said 66 percent
of working people feel their current jobs will not bring them
happiness, Taiwan's local media reported.
On the reasons for job changing, about 46 percent surveyed said
their current salaries are below their expectations, 41 percent
believe there are no opportunities for promotion and 41 percent
said their companies have no prospects, the survey showed.
Of those who hope to change jobs, 21 percent said a higher
salary was not essential because they realize that, in the current
economic climate in Taiwan, a pay rise is not realistic.
The Taiwan media did not say how many people had been
surveyed.
