A petition to address unemployment

A group has handed a petition at the government Headquarters hoping the authority will focus on the unemployment problem and continue to introduce measures to benefit residents. “The unemployment rate is high, wages are stagnant and the inflation rate is climbing,” the secretary general of People Power Macau, Lam Weng Loi, said, before adding it is reflective of “declining living standards,” as cited in media reports. The group expects the introduction of measures, including consumption stimulation, to help needy residents solve immediate hardships caused by unemployment.
