KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner - Nearly half of the more than 40,000 young people who graduate high schools and universities this year may not find employment in the private sector, two stakeholder groups have predicted.
The forecast by the Jamaica Employers' Federation (JEF) and the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) comes as the economy continues its decline for a sixth consecutive quarter.
"Most employers are either not hiring or not replacing people who are leaving," JEF President David Wan puts it simply.
