HONG KONG : “ Hong Kong hiring foreign labour. Monthly pay over HK$10,000 , includes meals and accommodation.”“Wage hikes for 15 types of construction jobs in Hong Kong ! Daily wages of up to 2,730 yuan !”
Authorities said bringing in Chinese workers is a temporary measure, but locals are worried they will be crowded out by the cheaper source of labour.However, some firms said they have no choice but to try and hire Chinese workers. “The Hong Kong property market has been relatively weak in the past two years, so the demands of the private housing market remain flat. If the property market revives by 2027, the labour squeeze will become more severe.”
“We won't allow labour shortages to hinder Hong Kong's recovery or impede economic development,” said Hong Kong Deputy Financial Secretary Michael Wong.
