Hong Kong's jobless rate stays low at 2.8 percent
Hong Kong's latest unemployment rate stood at 2.8 percent – unchanged from the June-to-August period – and remaining at its lowest level in four years. The underemployment rate also remained unchanged from the previous three-month period at one percent. In a statement, the government said the jobless rates of various sectors generally stayed low from July to September.  "The continued growth of consumption-and tourism-related activities would continue to support the labour market," labour minister Chris Sun said.
