Chinanews, March 22 - According to the latest figures released by the
statistics department of the Hong Kong SAR government, the unemployment
rate for the period between November last year and February this year
recorded a 39-month low of 6.1%, with added employment of 4,600 persons.
During the same period, the underemployment rate dropped 0.1% to 3.0%.
Financial Secretary Henry Tang Ying-yen said that the Hong Kong
government was confident about the prospects for the job market, though
he also mentioned a recent influx of graduates. An average rise in
salaries has also been achieved recently. Many believe that the employees
have gained more influence in salary negotiations as the overall economy
continues to improve.
