AI boom pushes overtime to new high in Taiwan's key tech sectors
Posted on 2026-06-13 13:10:13
Overtime hours worked by employees in two of Taiwan's key AI-related
manufacturing sectors reached record highs for April this year.

This underscores the strong demand for semiconductor chips and related
products amid the global AI boom.

The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics says the
electronic components manufacturing sector recorded an average of 29.6
overtime hours per worker in April, the highest figure for that month since
records began 47 years ago.

Meanwhile, the computer, electronic, and optical products manufacturing
sector recorded an average of 18.1 overtime hours per worker, also the
highest April figure on record for *that* sector.

The figures suggest demand tied to AI development remains strong, continuing
to drive growth in Taiwan's export-oriented technology industries.
