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.
