The number of jobless is on the rise
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong's unemployment rate of 3.9% is considered high and is the country's highest since the late 1980s. Hong Kong fears the rate will continue to rise and is not optimistic that it will decrease by the end of 1998. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority predicted the impact of the region's economic problems will be limited in comparison to other Asian economies.
