Jamaicans are always been a people on the move. We are a people who have a magnet for opportunity where ever it may be located.
.
The continuing global economic tsunami has created a new momentum for a significant movement of peoples, from the diaspora:
- Loss of wealth from our 401K and home equity
- Increasing unemployment
- Limited job prospects going forward
- Constant retooling of one’s skill set
- An increased sense of strengthening family links
are just some of the factors driving this renewed pilgrimage.
.
As always, there is an easy way and a hard way to accomplish this task. Some fool hardily saunter into this experience and usually pay dearly for taking this path. Help is available if we just look.
