Although many industries have already looked good, there are still some industries with poor employment conditions. Luo Zhiguang said that the current biggest pressure is still customs clearance, saying that Hong Kong is always more difficult to do and it is difficult to become an island.
Regarding the recent discussions on the importation of foreign workers in the construction industry, he pointed out that many projects can be predicted. At present, local social demand is acceptable and the demand for importation of foreign workers is not high.

Luo Zhiguang also pointed out that the drafting of the cancellation of the MPF hedging legislation is about to come to an end and will be submitted to the new Legislative Council for deliberation early next year.
Luo Zhiguang emphasized that there is no retrospective period for the law, and employers will not benefit from dismissing employees in advance. He also believes that companies need to retain talents and that a large number of employees will not be converted to self-employment. The biggest worry is that employers "do not know how to count" and do not understand the actual situation. , "Instead of eroding the bottom."
The government will continue to explain.
Yesterday, an organization announced a survey on compensation and benefits in the Greater Bay Area. It pointed out that the starting salary of graduates from City University in Guangdong Province in the Greater Bay Area is only 7,000 yuan, which is still far behind Hong Kong.
Luo Zhiguang said that if you only look at the silver code, it is still not as high as Hong Kong, but in the long run, the development of the Greater Bay Area may be better. What the government can do is to provide more opportunities for local youth to try. Fifth, the rent of the sub-divided house is 5,000 yuan, which (after deduction) is really the same."
