Opinion: Why more Jamaicans aren’t visible in the top jobs in Cayman Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

Readers are asked to note that Op-eds do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of Loop Cayman.

by ‘Caymaican’

The Cayman Islands’ 2021 Census Report shows that Jamaica ranks second as the place of birth for Cayman residents. However, this does not translate into Jamaicans taking second place for the top jobs in Cayman. Instead, Jamaican born workers mostly work as housekeepers, cleaners, caretakers, gardeners, police and construction workers, where they earn the middle-to-lower end of the salary scale in Cayman. In contrast, workers representing smaller percentages of the population (the UK, USA and Canada) in terms of birth, appear to command Cayman’s highest salaries. I believe there are several reasons for these disparities, some of which I mention below.

Cayman’s economic needs

First, as Cayman developed rapidly (with more buildings, homes and businesses) Cayman was forced to find people from overseas to fill posts for construction and other areas where tradesmen were required. This happened because Cayman did not establish large enough of an institution to equip and train a sufficient number of Caymanians to take these jobs as they became available.

In addition, there was a period of time in Cayman that professions like tradesmen, electricians and others in the construction industry were not deemed to be “prestigious enough” for my fellow Caymanians to pursue as careers. Instead, my fellow Caymanians were attracted to jobs in banks and other places in the financial services industry. A matter of preference, as it were.

The result of these permutations and combinations is that a smaller number of Caymanian-born workers were represented in trades industries over the years when compared to Jamaican-born workers (the 2021 Census also confirms that construction is the largest employer of Non-Caymanians and is the fifth largest place of employment for Caymanians, confirming that the long-held trend of the number of Non-Caymanians versus Caymanians in the construction industry is continuing).

Proximity

Literally being located next door also influenced Cayman as a choice for Jamaicans.

Advantages of being include:

Ability to return home quickly in case of family emergenciesAllows parents working in Cayman to conveniently see their children in Cayman during the summer holidays when school is outShort flight

Hiring practices

These benefits also translated well for Cayman businesses too because they could obtain workers on short notice when sufficient labourers were not available in Cayman to complete new or ongoing projects.

My suspicion is that, over time, because of the convenience and proximity, human resources managers developed a “preference” for Jamaican workers, especially in construction and housekeeping.

At the same time, however, for the financial services industry to thrive, human resources managers in that sector recruited many of their managers, directors and partners from the UK, USA and Canada. The median salary for these positions, as shown below, is about 6k per month (note that partners can make millions of dollars per year at law firms and accounting firms, not just 6k per month).

Salary of managers according to 2021 Cayman Census

The median salary, however, for construction and trades (where many Jamaican-born workers are employed) is 3k or less per month, with housekeepers in the region of 1k per month (often, this situation does not change even when Jamaican-born workers obtain Caymanian citizenship). This is highlighted in the preceding table and the table below.

Salaries in construction based on the 2021 Cayman Census Report

Importance of differences

The significance of the differences between positions held by Jamaican-born workers (representing a large percentage of residents on the basis of birth) and the UK, USA and Canada (representing a smaller percentage of residents on the basis of birth) is that, given the salaries, Jamaican-born workers are likely to have a harder time surviving the high cost of living in Cayman and may also live near or at the poverty level.

Anomaly could have been avoided

This anomaly, in my view, may have been avoided over the years if human resource planners considered Jamaican scholars for positions in the financial services industry at the same time that they assessed Cayman’s needs in trades industries.

For example, looking at Rhodes Scholarships alone, these have been awarded to Jamaicans from the 1950s to date, for literary and scholastic attainments, according to data published by the University of The West Indies. Jamaica also boasts good university education standards, with some Caymanians even obtaining their education in Jamaica in the past. Jamaica could have therefore been seen as a reliable source of educated candidates for top jobs, not just construction and housekeeping.

Opportunity to change things

Ignoring what could have been, the Cayman government and businesses have an opportunity now to correct the existing mismatch. The will to do this, however, may depend on the attitude towards more diversity at the top.

Sainte-Anne

Après avoir quitté la commune du Marin, on constate que ce n’est pas l’imagination qui manque pour habiller non seulement les ronds-points, mais aussi les arbres le long de la route qui mène au bourg de Sainte-Anne.

Depuis près de 3 ans, les décorations des ronds-points saintannais et des places du centre bourg font partie des symboles de la ville de Sainte-Anne. Avec leurs thèmes liés aux périodes de l’année, Noël, Carnaval, Pâques et maintenant les vacances, ces œuvres ne laissent personne indifférent, autant les habitants que les visiteurs. Dès le début de juillet, manège, jeux de carte et de dominos, sinobol, gâteau ou encore chocolat font le show. Le travail de création est mené par…

Black Immigrant Daily News

Cargos criminales por Actos Lascivos (Artículo 133 del Código Penal) fueron radicados este jueves contra Carlos Igartúa Laguer, de 57 años y residente de Camuy, quien laboraba como agente de la Policía de Puerto Rico, adscrito a la División de Delitos Sexuales, del Cuerpo de Investigaciones Criminales (CIC) de Arecibo, por supuestos hechos ocurridos durante el mes de febrero de 2022.

Según el parte policíaco, surge de la investigación de la sargento Margarita Burgos Rosario, de la División de Delitos Sexuales del CIC de Utuado, que supuestamente Igartúa Laguer cometió el delito contra una mujer, mayor de edad, mientras ejercía sus funciones como agente del Orden Público en Arecibo.

Este caso se consultó con la fiscal Mariela Rullán Declet, de la Fiscalía de Utuado, quien instruyó la radicación del cargo antes mencionado. La prueba se presentó ante la jueza Melissa Santiago Núñez, del Tribunal de Utuado, quien determinó causa y le señaló una fianza de 40 mil dólares.

Igartúa Laguer prestó la fianza señalada y quedó en libertad hasta la vista preliminar pautada para el 16 de septiembre de 2022.

Debido a estos hechos imputados, Igartúa Laguer quedó suspendido de empleo y sueldo por parte del Negociado de la Policía de Puerto Rico.
