Hong Kong's unemployment rate stood at 3.3%
This is from May to July.
The Census and Statistics Department said Hong Kong's unemployment rate was unchanged as resilient local consumption lent support to the labor market.
"Labor demand will likely stay firm on the back of resilient domestic demand, thereby leading to broadly stable labor market conditions in the near term," said Secretary for Labor and Welfare Matthew Cheung.
The uncertain global economic outlook, including the future direction of U.S. monetary policy, and the recent slowdown in emerging economies could weigh on the city's economy and labor market, Cheung noted.
The city's jobless rate has fallen steadily since it peaked at 5.5% during June to August 2009.
