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.4 `0 U% q. I9 [% n

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)., a6 y  b  K# r  F8 {' v

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.
