Labor for sale graffiti

Throughout Taiwan (and China) graffiti that advertises ad hoc labor can be seen. Only mobile phone numbers are provided.

This photo was taken near Fu-jen Catholic University. Perhaps location-based services one day might service this labor market? A real Blade Runner-esque scenario with rough-and-ready laborers illegally finding dangerous work in the largely unregulated factories of Greater China (to manufacture for the world).
