Fundamental view

The jobless rate in Hong Kong probably remained unchanged at 3.1% in April, matching the 3.1% reading in the previous month. The jobless rate in the country averaged 3.75% from 1981 until 2014, marking an all time high of 8.5% in June 2003 and a record low of 1% in July 1989.

The unemployment rate is compiled, based on data obtained from a monthly General Household Survey. The workforce is defined as the land-based non-institutional population aged 15 and over. On the other hand, the unemployed people should fulfill the following conditions: havent worked for pay or profit in the 7 days before enumeration; havent had the ability to work in the 7 days before enumeration; have actively sought work 30 days before enumeration.

The Hong Kong unemployment rate will be reported by the nations Census and Statistics Department at 8:30 GMT. In case the jobless rate is lower-than-expected, this would heighten the appeal of the Hong Kong dollar.
