Anyone can do math, but how you gonna change occupancy rates.
And if you really know how, why didn’t you do it two years ago.
You’re full of bs.
At best, you will change how unemployment is calculated, in effect fudging the numbers
And in any case, those types of jobs just keep Bahamians in poverty, we need real jobs. We need industry, we need to manufacture; even if it’s just our tourist souvenirs, we need something that will actually help the people, not more of the same old crap jobs that can’t pay the bills.
You gots money, why you don’t give up your salary and show us your in it for the people? Not the salary and kickbacks.
If a work permit will not be issued when a Bahamian can do the job, the we better have a whole bunch of people start gardening and house cleaning and child care etc. All those permits can be revoked today.
As for construction, it’s just like any other profession, those coming from fully developed country’s will always be needed. Some inevitably end up with their own businesses here, usually with a Bahamian partner, but notice not one prolific construction company is run and managed by Bahamians. Not Mosko, not ISD, not BHM, Not Woslee, Not SMG, none of the good companies rely on Bahamians for leading roles. Now ask yourself, which came first, the success of those companies, or the foreign staff.
I’d rather we move ahead as a nation with plenty foreigners, than we limit ourselves to what Bahamians can do. We don’t exactly have any shining stars !
Nobody in our country has the knowledge. How could anyone, we’ve never done it before, we’ve never run anything right!other countries have people with a lifetime of experience doing it right, who learned from hundreds of power stations
Our bumbling baffoons need to sit small and listen to the experts. Some idiot goes and gets a 5 year degree in engineering and comes home and thinks he can do what a big first world engineering firm can do. Well guess what, the piece of paper doesn’t give you a lifetimes experience , it doesn’t give you a team and a huge data bank to draw on, it’s just a piece of paper. And an engineer who works their whole life in the Bahamas will at best see one big airport job, one big port , one big this and one big that, and they won’t be the lead, they’ll be the small man on the job. These guys from foreign are specialists, they go town to town doing big ports or big power stations, they do much larger projects over and over again.
There is no hope here if we don’t listen to those who know.
Out stupid Bahamian pride gets in the way of all progress.
We’ve never build anything.
USA has 1000 times the population and 1000 times the experience. The world has so much advanced technology that we will never see, much less lead or dominate.
What’s Minnis got to do with it. He just stepped in, we’ve been headed this way since independence, he’s just the current bumbling baffoon, all before and likely whoever comes after ...
This not a recent problem, this is a systemic problem, a nation of people who elect idiots to rob them blind and ruin everything, an nobody raises an eyelash to do anything about it.
Nothing done since independence suggests we are capable of managing this country.

Half the reason for an expat is attitude and willingness to work and honesty.
Sometime you’ve had a capable Bahamian who just won’t work, Branville is right.

What a complete moron. The key to a nations success is to draw the best and brightest from other nations.
We should openly give citizenship to any professional who out shines a Bahamian.
