III. Key Factors Affecting Income

• Regional differences: Income levels vary across different cities. For example, income in Foshan is 6.8% higher than the local average, while in Chengdu, it is 7.8% lower than the local average.
• Type of work: Company employees have stable incomes and enjoy benefits such as social insurance and housing funds. Independent technicians charge per order, with fluctuating incomes but higher potential.
