The Economics Ministry has proposed barring major public projects from employing foreign workers, the United Daily News reported. It also proposed offering subsidies to manufacturers that employ Taiwanese workers. The paper quoted State Minister Tsai Tsun-hsiung as saying 33,000 jobs could be released for Taiwanese under the plan. Taiwan currently employs about 370,000 foreign laborers. Tsai said the proposal would be submitted to the Cabinet for approval later this month. Officials were not available for comment Sunday. Taiwan's jobless rate soared to a four-year high of 4.64 percent in November. But critics question if Taiwanese are willing to take up blue-collar jobs, noting that many employers provide harsh working conditions and assign heavy workloads for foreign laborers. Tsai said there are no plans to replace the 170,000 foreigners who work as caretakers at homes and hospitals.
