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

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

0 O! W3 }& n' b! ZOur 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).

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.

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.....
