Jamaica, like many developing countries, struggles with high unemployment and underemployment rates, particularly for skilled professionals. More advanced economies such as the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. offer better-paying jobs, professional development, and upward mobility. Salaries in these countries are generally much higher, even for comparable positions, which can be a significant pull factor for Jamaicans seeking financial security or a higher standard of living.
