Taipei's job service offices are running a four-day hiring event with 937 openings, good news for people looking for work in restaurants, retail, and elder care.

• Twenty companies will recruit on-site at Taipei job centers from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28.
• Fried chicken chain King Food is hiring at these centers for the first time, with 95 trainee-manager and service jobs.
• Restaurant and hotel work is in demand as local spending stays strong, with management trainee pay reaching NT$45,000–48,000 a month.
• Convenience store chains 7-Eleven and FamilyMart are hiring store staff, and YouBike night-shift workers can earn close to NT$50,000.
• Home care agencies are offering hourly jobs paying NT$230 to NT$450 for people who want flexible or nearby work.

Outlook: Hiring in food service and care work should stay strong as long as domestic spending holds up.
