HONG KONG, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate eased to 3.4% in the November to January period, improving for the ninth consecutive quarters as economic activities continued to revive, the government said on Thursday. In the October to December period, the unemployment rate stood at 3.5%. "With the economic activities gradually returned from the epidemic to normalcy, coupled with a rebound in inbound tourism alongside the full resumption of normal travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the labour market conditions in the coming months should be further improved," the government said.
