💼 Why Jamaicans Have a 10-Job Mentality 🇯🇲 The minimum wage in Jamaica is $16,000 JMD per week (~USD 100). That’s not enough to cover life’s basics. So Jamaicans hustle — one job here, two side hustles there, a weekend gig, a “likkle” farming or vending on the side. It’s not greed. It’s survival. It’s resilience. It’s ambition. That’s why many Jamaicans proudly say: “Mi have 10 job.” 👉 What do you think — is this survival or strategy? #jamaica #madeinjamaica #madeinjamaicaofficial #instagood

Last night, I made two important announcements. First, Jamaica is moving steadily towards a living wage. Second, in our next budget, we will increase the minimum wage from $16,000 to $18,500. Some may worry about how they will manage this change, but let us look at the facts. Since 2016, when the minimum wage was just $6,200, we have more than doubled it without businesses shutting down or jobs disappearing.
