失業率無咁高既話,自然香港人既消費意慾會上升( h4 [' }, X! {- S
但係失業呢個問題又要關注到 薪金方面,

Yesterday, I watched the HK news online....7 `6 R$ u1 i3 ?4 W4 n
It says around 400 thousands people in HK earn less than 30 HKdollars per hour.# ]/ v3 F# i$ d" ^" r) R5 o

! c; h1 w- I/ RI 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.

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).. Q: r  P. _/ R- ]! O3 W

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.
