其實有時認為政府就業問題呢方面如果做得好d既話,,/ X/ N& ^" p) c& a' z8 Y; [
香港自然經濟各方面都好d6 s( |' K$ O+ C
失業率無咁高既話,自然香港人既消費意慾會上升2 i+ E& `5 i- O; k0 v8 P8 U1 i& ?  z$ F
但係失業呢個問題又要關注到 薪金方面,

Yesterday, I watched the HK news online....

When I heard the news, the first thing I had in mind was "30 HK dollars is like $4 Canadian dollars......"* y3 r5 n6 e$ d# Z; P

( C9 s/ v6 N. \6 YOur 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 }7 V) h1 c; t5 b/ k

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.' f& z: k$ p$ U. Z) p

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.

I personally don't like Canada that much.....but the condition in HK is just 10 times worse than Canada.....
