CSME, again I have to school you.
Druggie let me school you. CSME covered university graduates, media workers, artistes and musicians and supervisory workers. Nurses and teachers also fell within this category. This was implemented in 2006. AFTER Guyanese had already begun to flee. In fact this was AFTER Barbados ordered the removal of Guyanese.
The pile up of Guyanese in the Caribbean began after 2000 when the Guyana economy began to slow and when Guyanese were forced to flee to the Islands to find decent work. Clerical workers from Guyana could make three times as much to be baby sitters in Barbados. Teachers in Barbados were earning 7X as much as they did in Guyana.
Now scream that tourism pays so well that Guyanese couldn't help but work in it. Druggie if Guyana doesn't have a tourist industry how would they have acquired the experience to fit into those categories? The Guyanese working in tourism were the unskilled ones, because it is only the unskilled who are hired without having experience specific to tourism.
Unskilled workers who have vocational training weren't covered until 2009. This because these categories of workers were the largest group migrating within CARICOM. It was felt that the CSME was elitist and so this group was added. This was insisted upon by Jagdeo and the PM of St Vincent given that Guyanese in particular faced discriminatory treatment at CARICOM airports.
Druggie don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't discuss topics that you know not because I will gobble you up and then spit you out and flush you down the garbage chute.
