When I heard the news, the first thing I had in mind was "30 HK dollars is like $4 Canadian dollars......"8 O4 a" F8 }: {, U, h5 e/ b: g# \

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).

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.6 D. V! {/ p8 n8 ~1 [( V

# m' r# m; G0 E0 \: IHonestly 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.
