HONG KONG - HONG Kong's jobless rate stayed at a three-year low of 5.3 per cent in the three months ending May, the government said on Tuesday, after eight months of worsening figures.
The number of unemployed people increased by around 2,800 to 199,700 over the period, while the workforce increased by around 15,700 to an all-time high of 3,714,700, according to the Central Statistics Department's latest figures.

Secretary for Labour Matthew Cheung welcomed the signs of stabilisation, but said it was still a difficult time for graduates and school leavers, made even worse by uncertainty over swine flu.

'The government's several rounds of relief measures are actually beginning to take effect,' he said in a statement.

Hong Kong fell into recession in the third quarter of 2008 and in May the government slashed its growth forecast for this year, saying the economy would contract 5.5-6.5 per cent in 2009, from a previous forecast of 2.0-3.0 per cent. -- AFP

So many foreigners being employed in Singapore. Filipinos can be found in banks, 7 eleven, any places that require English speaking. And they are not cheap, most of them are S-passes which means their salaries are at least $1800 and above.

Fucking hell, we Singaporeans pay are so much lesser then them. Most of the Singaporeans salary range are around $1100 to $1500.

Fuck the bloody government!

Unemployment rates is misleading. The employment rate of foreign trash is close to 100% as those trash without employment pass will be sent home. And also locals who are unemployed for more than 1 year will not be included in the unemployment statistics (retired??). The unemployment for the locals is closer to 10% if I'm not wrong. I think its better to use 'employment rate' to show the true employment statistics.
