If 64% are private and 19% government, where are the other 17%?

And how is it that on the other hand, 37% in public?

Something seems amis to me.

Maybe non-profits like the schools? Or its just another statistic that is released that doesn't make sense when it is properly looked at. I always had heard the public sector makes up around 40% of our country so that 19% is too low i think

Where are the other 9/10 jobs to be found?

Ok, I got that backward.

So 64% of the people have to make enough money to get by and pay the salary of the 19%? How is that sustainable? How many of the 1 out of the 10 people are looking for a job and hoping not to find one or only working for Friday?

How about the other 17 percent being self employed,

Not necessarily so. Government main sources of revenue is taxes. Which included taxes on a lot of what is spent by the millions of tourists that visit the country.

And who works in the tourist industry?

You know full well this corrupt Davis led PLP government thinks its main source of revenue is borrowing and/or selling state owned assets for pennies on the dollar of true value.

Is it one in ten people that are unemployed or one in ten workers? BiG difference.

Is she for real?!!

Well, who trusts ANY of these numbers?
Nobody with the high school education of how many percent? Gimmee a break.
And certainly with no Freedom of Information Act.
My guess is that 10% of the government workers would be able to hold a job for one month in most other places.
Our productivity is at rock bottom.
The writing is on the wall.
No matter how this government tries to paint a rosy picture, you still got to have rose colored glasses on to believe anything they say.
Yes, or no?

Those should be employed in trained security for our country and rotated for their best efficacy. Other countries can do this and give a wholesome and dedicated reasoning for love of our country and the wish to work with it and protect from an age where reason and
Loyalty can be espoused. I wish for this.

For, not from.

How effective would the majority of the unemployed population be in emerging themselves into a workforce and having a forward plus attitude?

**HOLD FLIPPIN ON** where do these numbers mysteriously materialize from? Nobody in my whole family and anybody else I know were ever contacted! The closest my household came to being screened was to find a note stuck in the door one evening saying they would return at a later date. Which of course never happened.

The kicker is, someone is always in residence 24/7, so they had to have snuck up to the door to push the notice in somewhere!

After 50 years of dealing with these people, I will begin trusting the PLP on the same day I begin trusting the FNM.

**NOT HAPPENING anytime in the foreseeable future!**

How about ever?

Bahamians are only allowed to vote for PLP & FNM. Americans are only allowed to vote for Democrat & Republican. Lincoln Bain and Robert Kennedy have no chance. People like being poor and stupid - otherwise they would not be able to complain so much.

Sometimes it seems that way, until you realize what the average, decent person is being fed. Fed with poisonous food, and fed with the nonsense coming out of the so-called leaders mouths.
Ever studied Divide and Conquer?
Remember now, there are not really two parties. In both the US and here they are basically the same.
The people's needs and desires are shunned by both parties.
The one's who have a say in politics are the elites. The ones who fund the politicians and the governments. They, somehow, always get what they want.
Curious, isn't it?
So long as we allow money in politics, it will be the same as allowing the richest to bribe the police. Is that how we judge justice?
Apparently so.
