Regular monthly wages averaged NT$48,768, up 2.6 percent from a year earlier, the agency said. Total compensation, including bonuses and overtime pay, rose 4.4 percent to NT$57,509, their fastest growth in 16 years, it said. “The ongoing AI boom has fueled strong business for Taiwan’s electronic components suppliers, driving higher overtime pay and bonuses, which in turn lifted overall compensation,” DGBAS Census Department Deputy Director Tan Wen-ling (譚文玲) said. While average wages were lifted by higher earners, median monthly pay rose at a steadier pace, reaching NT$39,220, up 2.9 percent from a year earlier, DGBAS data showed. By industry, average regular monthly wages in the January-to-March period were highest in publishing, audiovisual and information services at NT$70,562, followed closely by financial and insurance services at NT$70,319, and professional, scientific and technical services at NT$59,273, the data showed. At the lower end, accommodation and food services averaged NT$34,524, while other services stood at NT$37,172. Strength in technology-related sectors was also evident in working hours. Manufacturing overtime averaged 17.1 hours per month in the first quarter, the highest for the period in 22 years, the DGBAS said. Within that segment, electronics component manufacturing reached 28.6 overtime hours per month — the highest first-quarter level on record — highlighting sustained demand from AI and advanced computing supply chains, it said. However, traditional industries continued to face headwinds from weak global demand and excess capacity, with employment in sectors such as textiles, chemicals and metals remaining lower than a year earlier, pointing to an uneven recovery across the economy, the agency said. After adjusting for inflation, real regular wages rose 1.45 percent in the first quarter, the strongest gain for the period in 11 years, while real total compensation increased 1.98 percent, the fastest pace in eight years, it said. Both measures remained in positive territory, indicating that inflation has not fully eroded wage gains, DGBAS said. Still, income distribution data underscore a widening gap between higher and lower-paid workers, with the share of employees earning below the average wage rising to 69.95 percent in the first quarter, a record high, it said. Tan attributed the divergence to outsized gains in high-tech sectors, where strong profitability has driven wages and bonuses well above levels in the broader economy. The surge has lifted overall averages, while leaving a large share of workers in other industries below that benchmark, she said. ### 相關股票 - [EWT.US](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/EWT.US.md) - [TWN.US](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/TWN.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [台股驚跌千點力守月線！法人喊免驚：逢拉回即長線買點](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286708394.md) - [力守 4 萬？明天過後？矽光子將風雲再起？](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/287045071.md) - [政院將成立 AI 戰略委員會 強化風險分級與資料治理](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/287161625.md) - [【行業透視】善用 AI 重在定義問題與專業把關](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286681677.md) - [數發部發布 AI 產業人才認定指引 3.0 擴大生態系](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286858820.md)
