📈 [Major Labor Rights] Decision Made! Next Year's Minimum Wage Historically Breaks the 30,000 Mark, Monthly Salary to be 30,900 Yuan, Hourly Wage 205 Yuan

Taiwan's labor rights are entering a new milestone! The Ministry of Labor held a minimum wage review meeting on September 24th and officially made the decision: next year's basic wage will see its 11th consecutive increase, historically crossing the 30,000 Yuan mark! 📌 Here are the specific adjustment figures: Monthly salary: Increased from the current 29,500 Yuan to 30,900 Yuan (an increase of 1,400 Yuan, a rate of approximately 4.8%). Hourly wage: Increased from the current 196 Yuan to 205 Yuan (an increase of 9 Yuan, a rate of approximately 4.6%). 11 Consecutive Years of Increases: Looking back from 2016 (monthly salary 20,008 Yuan, hourly wage 120 Yuan) to the present, the cumulative increase in basic monthly salary has reached 54.4%, and the cumulative increase in hourly wage has reached 41.5%, demonstrating the government's determination to continuously improve the salary environment for grassroots workers. 💡 Editor's Note: Although the final agreed-upon adjustment rate of 4.8% is slightly lower than the 7.77%–8% initially proposed by labor groups (expecting 31,800 Yuan), the monthly salary officially breaking the 30,000 Yuan mark is still a substantial income increase for the vast majority of grassroots workers, migrant workers striving in Taiwan, and students working part-time. As wages rise, whether prices will fluctuate in the future is also a key concern for everyone.
