As college students are about to start their summer break, a survey by the Manpower Bank reveals a six-year high in the demand for summer part-time jobs this year. Apart from part-time positions, there is also a shortage in full-time jobs, with convenience stores actively recruiting soon-to-be graduates. Offering managerial trainee positions, with the prospect of escalating salaries, performance bonuses, and company benefits, the annual salaries could potentially exceed a million. The stores are not only looking for second-career individuals but are also targeting prospective graduates, with starting salaries of 680,000 for university graduates and at least 780,000 for postgraduates, with potential to reach over a million based on performance. The labor market is experiencing a scarcity of workers not only for summer jobs but also for regular positions. There is an increasing demand for student workers in July and August, reaching 44.2%, and some companies are willing to pay up to 206.1 yuan per hour, with 5.8% even offering over 300 yuan. Expressing dissatisfaction with the current wage levels, only 59% of students are content with their earnings, which averages 212 yuan per hour. Despite this, there is still a 5% gap compared to their ideal wage of 224 yuan. It is advised by the Manpower Bank to be cautious about falling into the high-salary trap while seeking summer or post-graduation employment.

The leaders used various tactics to manage and orchestrate the group. Additionally, this fraud group kept detailed lists containing drivers' personal information and family contacts to control them and appoint lawyers swiftly under family names if a driver got caught by the police. Authorities arrested Yang and Wang, the leaders, and 14 others following multiple raids. Evidence suggests there are 21 victims with losses exceeding NT $60 million. The suspects will be persecuted for fraud, money laundering, and organized crime, as investigations continue to maintain order and protect citizens from scams. The public is urged to be cautious of unfamiliar investment channels, advising to verify through the anti-fraud consultation hotline at 165 if in doubt.
