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.* x7 D5 k3 f: s- d5 q/ P" d# O

When I heard the news, the first thing I had in mind was "30 HK dollars is like $4 Canadian dollars......"

- H, I# t- q! p: b5 N6 U1 MOur 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).1 v0 e  X9 Z0 g' D+ I+ ^

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.: H' S4 h4 L/ s1 }) L

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.
