其實有時認為政府就業問題呢方面如果做得好d既話,,

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.3 a+ @; c) R3 a: ^& x3 s% e

Our minimum wage for a full time employee for our province is $9.5 Canadian dollars per hour(probably around 71 HK dollars).  So as long as you are full time employed, the employer will needs to pay you $9.5 per hour (even you are just working in McDonalds).7 G* e+ z/ u3 q" X% k" c

My conclusion is, if HK government doesn't set up a rule for the minimum wage, the basic salary would only get lower and lower because the employers would only push it as low as it can be.8 z: y/ O* w+ U- {

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.
