Hong Kong can't recruit construction workers with a daily salary of 2,3 yuan? It is not easy to work in Hong Kong.

Now, it is not a new topic for construction workers in Hong Kong to get high salaries, but every time a Hong Kong builder announces a salary increase, it can fully mobilize the media's attention and send a few articles lamenting that it is good to be a construction worker in Hong Kong.

Earn a high salary, welcome Bai Fumei, reach the peak of life, and even graduates from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, who gave up their jobs in the financial industry and chose to become workers on construction sites.

As the third largest financial center and one of the most competitive cities in the world, Hong Kong enjoys a high reputation in the world, and its wages and benefits are also surprisingly high.

Many people want to go to Hong Kong to get married and have children, so that once a child is born, it will be registered in Hong Kong. Therefore, many mainlanders also want to go to Hong Kong for development, because the wages on construction sites in Hong Kong are very high.

It is said on the Internet that the daily wages of construction workers in Hong Kong are horribly high. For example, painters can earn 1,3 yuan a day, excavators can earn 1,4 yuan a day and cement workers can earn 2,6 yuan a day.

according to the statistics of the hong kong statistics department, the population of hong kong was 6.79 million in 24, 7.39 million in 214 and 7.89 million in 223, but at the same time, the proportion of the labor force is declining.

Besides, there is a serious shortage of labor in catering and elderly service industries in Hong Kong. It is estimated that the construction industry in Hong Kong will still lack about 1, to 15, skilled workers in the next few years.

Although the high salaries of construction workers in Hong Kong are attractive, it is not easy for mainlanders to come to work in Hong Kong, according to the labour plan of the Hong Kong Labour Department.

when employing foreign workers, employers must abide by two principles: first, employers must give priority to local workers; Employers can only import workers if they really can't hire the people they need to fill the vacant positions in Hong Kong.

Employers who are allowed to employ mainland workers must pay an additional levy for each imported worker for employees to train local workers. The amount is calculated by multiplying 4 yuan dollars by the number of months stipulated in the employment contract and will not be refunded under any circumstances.

On the supply side, there are about 34, construction workers in Hong Kong, but nearly half of them are over 55 years old, which not only reduces their work efficiency, but also has a high retirement turnover rate.

Because of the poor working environment, manual labor is very hard, and young people are unwilling to do it. In addition, being a construction worker is not decent enough, and many young people prefer to be clerks with less income.

even if they enter this industry, half of them change careers in less than three months.
