It says around 400 thousands people in HK earn less than 30 HKdollars per hour.

I believe the actual labour problem would be much worse than this since there is a number of people who are working part time with even lower wages, and a number of people who are unemployed at all.) x) u1 u2 D+ D9 O. e

Honestly even right now, it would be easier for a person to find a job and get better pay in Canada or even US than in HK.
