HONG ⁠KONG, Dec 16 (Reuters) – ⁠Hong Kong’s seasonally adjusted ⁠unemployment rate held steady at ​3.8% in September to ‍November, as compared to the preceding three-month period, the ​government said on Tuesday.

“The solid expansion of the Hong ​Kong economy and the ⁠improving consumer confidence ‌should continue to render support to ⁠the overall ​labour market,” said Chris ‌Sun, Secretary for Labour and Welfare.

The ‍employment situations in some sectors may remain under pressure as their businesses face challenges, Sun added.
