Employment growth in Hong Kong, China is starting to slow, with a lag in response to weaker economic growth and corporate profits. According to the last labour force surveys for the fourth quarter of 2011, the unemployment rate in Mongolia was estimated at 9%, down from 13% in last quarter of 2010. This is the result of considerable and sustained investments in education, advanced infrastructure, such as highspeed communications and broadband technology, and institutions that reward innovation and facilitate economic transactions.
