Technicians are well paid due to a national employment gap. For example, the report says China lacked 114,000 air-conditioner installers in the first three quarters of 2016.

全国技工用工缺口促使此类工作薪资不菲。例如，该报告称，2016年前三季度，空调安装工全国用工缺口为11.4万。

Liu Kan from 58.com says high wages are associated with hardship. For instance, couriers must deliver goods to customers timely despite severe smog or heavy rain.

58同城招聘负责人刘侃表示，高薪是和背后的艰辛成正比的。以快递员为例，即使是在大雨、浓雾这种恶劣的天气情况下，也必须在规定的时间内把快递送到消费者的手中。

Fitness instructors² and babysitter may enjoy better working conditions, but they are fully responsible for their client's safety.

健身教练和月嫂虽工作环境更优越，但事实上，他们需要承担的责任更大，因为雇主的安全不容有一点闪失。
