As usual you are incorrect, the bajans are fleeing to the US as they can't even get the jobs in their own country.  I know quite a few of them doing blue collar but honest work. In fact even in the IT industry I have encountered more Guyanese Blacks and yet to find a Bajan.  Overall the Guyanese Blacks are way more successful than the Bajans in the US despite their high roles in criminality in Guyana.

Really. Bajans are fleeing?  Really? So why is there net migration INTO Barbados. Shouldn't there be net migration OUT of Barbados if Bajans are fleeing?

And are you dumb that you will base the success of a group based on who you know? Suppose successful Bajans have no interest in being around an idiot like you? So you will not meet them.

In fact Jamaica, Guyana and Haiti have the highest brain drain in the Caribbean as these are the 3 poorest (aside from the DR).  Successful Bajans have no need to leave that island. Why will they put up with all of the risks and uncertainties of migration if their lives are fine?

You have no idea how well Bajans are doing in the USA.   Statistics indicate that while around 60% of Bajans with tertiary degrees have migrated to OECD nations(low by Caribbean standards) 90% of their Guyana equivalent has. And in the case of Guyana it gets worse as many have also migrated to other parts of the Caribbean.
