Macau builds a brighter future

Classified Post Online: " THE BOOMING PROPERTY market in Macau has given rise to job opportunities for construction professionals in Hong Kong, where the industry is facing slower growth. China Construction Engineering (Macau), a subsidiary of China Overseas Holdings, is looking to hire at least 70 people at middle level or above by next year to work on projects in Macau. Tian Shuchen, the company's general manager, said the value of construction projects in Macau had reached about $1.7 billion this year, rising from $500 million in 2001. He believes the figure will remain at a similar level, if not grow higher, in the coming years."
