Hong Kong's latest unemployment rate stood at 2.8 percent – unchanged from the June-to-August period – and remaining at its lowest level in four years.

The underemployment rate also remained unchanged from the previous three-month period at one percent.

In a statement, the government said the jobless rates of various sectors generally stayed low from July to September.

"The continued growth of consumption-and tourism-related activities would continue to support the labour market," labour minister Chris Sun said.
