I have several Dominican friends, but only a couple are employed full-time. One has not been employed in over a year, except for the occasional temp job (he is a carpenter). The ones who are fully employed are nervous about the coming election. Apparently, many jobs with government contracts may disappear under a new party. So, those friends are dusting off the resume and saving a lot of money (just in case).
So my question is, how difficult is it for Dominicans to get a job? Since this is a broad question, answer this. First, a person with a private sector job, highly educated, excellent credentials (but with a government contract)? Second, a person with little formal education, lower socio-economic class, average trade skills, arrest record (evading)? Last, person just out of college with a business degree, bi-lingual, little work experience? All live in Santo Domingo.
How long does it take to find a full-time job? What prevents people from getting a full-time job (ie., formal education, lack of transportation, networks)? How easy is it to lose a job?
Very curious...thanks.
