I think you need some of that subsidized ensure given your brain is apparently under-functioning. Guyana's unemployment was always in the high 20's all through the last two decades and besides the influx of predator multinational companies coming in to bleed the nation in the extraction industries there was no growth industry in any sector, agriculture manufacturing etc. Income was on borrowing, remission and money generated by the predators as they spent to facilitate their predation. Growth of restaurants is not a sign of vibrant industry. It is a  lot of shady people who are focused on low capital investment in a sector that is at best hit or miss with short shelf life. They add nothing to the nations net assets but are expatriate owned and are scavenging cash for foreign deposits.

Clearly you lie like a dog. Anyone who claimed to be employed during Jagdeo time was lying.  You must have been aware that there were severe labor shortage in the sugar industry, but the "unemployed" were too sweet skinned to cut cane and load punt. In fact my business partners could not get enough local labor to fulfill their employment needs, they had to import Trini mechanics,  Brazillian dredge operators, Amerindian cooks etc. 

Even in the best of times cane-cutting was never a full time job. The maximum a cane cutter works is maybe 9 months if he is lucky. The nation is still in severe unemployment but there is currently a shortage of one estate as was reported in the news. Your folk tales about not getting employees could be they do not care to work for stingy folks.
