June-September 2024 Driver Job Market and Salary Report
Market Outlook
As we enter the third quarter of 2024, the Hong Kong market continues to face significant geopolitical challenges, which have a persistent negative impact on the overall economy. Most companies remain cautious about their development plans. This uncertainty has led to a strong hesitancy among businesses regarding the necessity of high-level executives continuing their roles in Hong Kong. Consequently, this has negatively affected the demand for professional drivers.
Additionally, both domestic and international high-net-worth individuals are showing a decreased interest in living and spending in Hong Kong. This trend has resulted in many drivers who previously served this demographic facing unemployment. At the same time, the ongoing emigration wave and the resulting talent drain continue to impact the market.
Salary Trends
Given the market factors mentioned, and with the onset of the third quarter and the approaching summer holiday season, the job vacancies in the professional driver market have significantly decreased. We observe that drivers’ bargaining power regarding salaries is also diminishing. During this period, employers have more options and greater leverage in negotiating salaries when selecting drivers.
