Job seekers are worried that new subsidy programs would actually put them at a disadvantage

A survey by a Taiwanese job bank has found that 40% of new graduates worry a proposed subsidy program will lower starting salaries. 1111 Job Bank released the results Friday.

The government is planning a year-long subsidy program that would give employers NT$12,000 (US$400) a month for every new graduate they hire. The program is part of a relief package designed to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
