HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate slipped to 4.1% in the September-November quarter, the government said on Thursday, the lowest since the Dec. 2019-Feb. 2020 period, as the labour market improved along with an ongoing economic recovery.
The figure compared with 4.3% in the August-October period.
The under-employment rate slid to 1.8%, from 1.9% in the previous three months.
“With the local epidemic situation remaining under control, the local economic and labour market conditions should continue to improve,” the government said.
