Half of BN(O) migrants are jobless, but 99% have no plans of returning to Hong Kong, study finds


Hongkongers who have moved to Britain have struggled to find work, with half unemployed and those with jobs complaining of being overqualified and underpaid, despite being more highly educated than locals, a study has found.

Despite the difficulties, BN(O) migrants had elected overwhelmingly to stay in the United Kingdom, with 99 per cent saying they had no plans to return to Hong Kong, the survey released on Wednesday said.
