What the Data Shows

This statistic translates Taiwan’s tech stack into labour-market pay. Electronic-components manufacturing sits well above the broader manufacturing median, reflecting the wage premium in a core semiconductor-linked sector. The comparison also places electronics below finance and information-and-communications publishing but far above accommodation and support services. Sector medians come from a reported Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics dataset, so the card keeps source status labelled.

Data notes & caveats

Sector medians are first-nine-month 2025 values reported by the Overseas Community Affairs Council from Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics data. The national full-year median support metric uses a separate official press release.

Source consistency notes

Sector wage values are from one OCAC/DGBAS report; national full-year median comes from a separate official DGBAS release.
