Vacancies in the wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hotels sector increased by 7.8%. Vacancies on construction sites also recorded a substantial increase of 61.1% in December 1994 over a year earlier.
The remarkable increases in employment and vacancies on construction sites reflected the heavy demand for construction workers in the new airport projects and some private building projects.
Detailed breakdowns of the above statistics are available from the Quarterly Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics, December 1994 and the Quarterly Report of Employment and Vacancies at Construction Sites, December 1994. They will be available at $24 per copy and $13 per copy respectively at the Government Publications Centre, Queensway Government Offices, Low Block, Ground Floor, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong and at the Publications Section of the Census and Statistics Department on the 19th floor, Wanchai Tower, 12 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
