根據勞動部調查結果，十五至二十九歲的青年勞工去年平均每月薪資為兩萬九千四百二十七元，而青年初次就業薪資為兩萬五千五百四十元，顯示多數青年勞工轉換工作時，薪資都有提升。
以年齡來看，二十歲到二十四歲青年平均每月薪資為兩萬五千八百六十八元，初次就業薪資為兩萬三千一百一十九元。
青年勞工出社會後，第一份工作平均花費兩個月才找到，當中高達五成青年勞工在初次尋職曾遭遇困難，主要原因為經歷不足跟不知道自己適合做哪方面工作。
青年勞工初次就業考慮因素則以「工作穩定性」及「薪資及福利」為主。

A Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel “Shunxin-39” was believed to have caused damage to an undersea cable of Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom on the morning of Jan. 3. It was suspected that the Chinese merchant ship, which was registered with the nationality of another country, deliberately cut off the cable by dragging the anchor over it. While the incident is still under investigation, China has a long history of using maritime tactics to sabotage Taiwan’s infrastructure. In February last year, two cables linking Taiwan to its outlying Matsu Islands were damaged within days of each other by a Chinese fishing
Have you ever dreamed of using an entire city as your training ground, effortlessly moving across walls, buildings, stairs, and obstacles? This is not just a fantasy from the movies. In cities around the world, a group of enthusiasts practice this seemingly impossible sport — “parkour.” The origins of parkour can be traced back to 20th-century France.

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Using a device to isolate a section of the seafloor, the researchers aimed to measure oxygen levels in the enclosed water. Normally, oxygen rates would decrease as marine organisms consume it, but the result was contrary to expectations. The unexpected outcome prompted the team to further investigate the phenomenon. Researchers found the lumps emitted an electric charge similar to that of a AA battery. This charge is believed to trigger a process that splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, accounting for the increase. Traditional perspectives propose that oxygen production began around three billion years ago through photosynthesis by ancient
