HONG KONG, March 16 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate eased to 3.3% in the December to February period, improving for a tenth consecutive quarter as economic activity continued to be brisk, the government said on Thursday. In the November to January period, the unemployment rate stood at 3.4%. "The labour market conditions should improve further in the near term alongside the continued return of economic activities to normalcy and the rebound in inbound tourism," the government said.
