Drawing inspiration from Dubai and Singapore, he envisions Jamaica as a top destination for living, working, and retiring, aligned with Vision 2030. But this shift demands a radical rethink: boosting productivity, rethinking wages, and tackling deep-rooted issues like crime, infrastructure, and low worker output. While unemployment is low, businesses face labor shortages—a paradox that calls for new labor policies. Holness warns that raising wages without productivity gains fuels inflation, trapping the economy in a decades-old cycle. The path forward? Make Jamaica not just a place to visit, but a place to thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
