Average annual salary for Hong Kong fresh graduates at HK$300,000, 7.8 per cent jump from 2021


Hong Kong fresh graduates are making HK$300,000 (US$38,400) a year on average, a 7.8 per cent increase from 2021, according to data from the city’s eight publicly funded universities.

A human resources expert attributed the rise to a labour shortage, which prompted employers to fork out slightly more to attract talent, but fresh graduates said many challenges remained in navigating the local job market.
