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

# C6 |/ G0 G: q) ]' c$ r% NOur 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 ~8 Z3 A6 a+ qMy 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.( n/ j$ O) B7 S8 o: b! d6 o$ `

Little bit of my own experience, when I first graduated a few years ago (before the economic crisis), my parents and relatives always ask me to go back to HK to find a job.  # ?2 K" M6 N4 ?8 t& `! e
They always say like HK has more chances than in North America.
