HONG KONG (March 16): Hong Kong's unemployment rate rose to a seasonally adjusted 7.2% in the December-February period, the government said on Tuesday, as a surge in coronavirus infections late last year prompted new restrictions on a wide range of activities.
The figure compared with 7.0% in the November-January period, and was the highest since 2004.
The underemployment rate increased to 4.0% from 3.8% in the previous three-month rolling period. The number of unemployed rose by about 8,300 people to 261,600 in the three months ending in February.
