Antigua ‘Practically at Full Employment’, Says PM
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has claimed that Antigua and Barbuda is now “practically at full employment,” crediting ongoing investments in tourism, housing and infrastructure for creating jobs across the economy.
Speaking on Point FM, Browne said the country’s development drive has left few people without work. “People are working,” he told listeners, quoting a young man who said: “Who not working is who don’t want to work.”
The Prime Minister argued that policies pursued by his administration have expanded opportunities in both the public and private sectors, pointing to major hotel projects, housing schemes and government-funded infrastructure upgrades as key drivers of employment.
