HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate eased to 3.1% in the January to March period, improving for the eleventh consecutive quarter as economic activity continued to pick up, the government said on Monday.

In the December to February period, the unemployment rate stood at 3.3%.
