, r; h4 a, O7 ~9 C- MOur 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.- v( }1 m) L  C8 L! m

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.....

Honestly even right now, it would be easier for a person to find a job and get better pay in Canada or even US than in HK.
