By every measure, Hong Kong has developed in dramatic contrast with the tighter times in the years after World War II. Then, skilled tradesmen were keenly sought and earned $5 to $6.20 a day; male weavers on $10 a day were the highest-paid factory workers. Rice was 84 cents a catty ($1.38 a kilogram) and fresh fish cost $1.65 a catty ($2.71 a kilogram). In 1995, male manufacturing workers were paid $350 a day, long-grain rice was about $7 a kilogram and fresh fish ranged from $25 to $32 a kilogram.
