Statistics from job-seeking websites show that the economy has turned around
[07:03] Hong Kong’s anti-epidemic policy has been relaxed, coupled with customs clearance with the mainland, the economy has begun to reverse its decline and the unemployment rate has continued to decline.
The job search platform Moov up counted job advertisements and found that the number of front-line jobs will increase in December 2022, while the retail and catering industries are the industries that lack the most people. The monthly salary can reach 16,000 yuan.
Qiu Lixun, co-founder of Moov up, said that the working population is still on the decline, especially in white-collar jobs. Due to the aging population and the impact of immigration, it is expected that after the epidemic eases, the economy will improve, especially as foreign workers can be imported.

Families of patients with severe epidemic have complained about the "bomb disposal experts" in the hospital: Communication and listening are the key
[07:00] The epidemic has lasted for three years. In addition to the heavy pressure and challenges facing the medical system, inquiries and complaints have also increased significantly during the period. This is a big test for the hospital's "bomb disposal experts" who are responsible for handling complaints.
Xu Meifen, one of the bomb disposal experts and patient liaison director of Caritas Hospital, said that most of the complainants are under heavy pressure. When handling complaints, one should have empathy and negotiate with the complainants to reach a consensus; the medical coordinator (patient liaison) of United Christian Hospital Dr. Wu Guoliang pointed out that sometimes it may not be possible to negotiate directly with the complainant, and it may be necessary to discuss with other family members of the patient to find out the crux of the problem.
