The Government has decided to raise the minimum wage for helpers by $100. I’m sure when you calculate the inflation of the last 3 years, even with the increase, they will still be worse off than 3 years ago. But that is also probably true for most Hong Kong people. The cost of everything has gone up, but our incomes have stayed the same or even gone down. Welcome to the new world order.
