金卡持卡者以專長領域別分析，經濟領域人數為最多213人，占總核發數的53%，依次為科技領域84人(21%)、文化領域50人(12%)、教育領域27人(7%)、金融領域23人(6%)(圖1)；另以國別分析，美國為最主要來源國家103人，占總核發數的25%，其次依序為香港44人(11%)、英國35人(9%)、丹麥24人(6%)、馬來西亞23人(6%)、韓國20人(5%)、新加坡19人(5%)等(圖2)。
為顯示政府對就業金卡持卡人的高度重視，本會已舉辦數次持卡人交流茶會，未來將持續辦理相關交流活動；此外，為發揮外國人才專法攬才綜效，讓更多優秀外國人了解我國工作與生活環境，本會亦規劃推動海內外廣宣活動，並持續檢討鬆綁相關法規，讓外國人才「進得來」、「留得住」。
