• <收入及工時按年統計調查報告>

  You can download the report here. 

  Media already has some headline coverage (e.g. MingPao) :

  勞工界要求把最低工資定為時薪33元，而根據政府最新公布的數字，全港有近47萬人的時薪低於這水平。

  統計處今天公布本港工資分佈調查，指在2009年第二季，本港的僱員人數（不包括留宿家庭傭工、政府僱員、僱主及自營作業者）為277萬6600人，整體的每小時工資中位數為58.5元。

  如按選定每小時工資水平劃分，時薪低於33元的僱員人數，為46萬9400人。

  另外，低於30元的，有37萬4800人。低於24元的，有13萬200人。

  I do not have the time to find out interesting observations, yet.

  But there is already one funny thing about this report :

  Though being called “收入及工時按年統計調查報告”, it contains no information whatsoever on 工時. I go over and over the report again, but there is no single table indicating the working hours for the employees.
  

  Stay attuned to more updates ahead.
