Answer 2

Well, Cuba has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Most could work as skilled professionals, however there is a shortage of such jobs. Most, the white ones at least, are able to work in the tourist industry. Recently a Spanish firm employed white Cubans to manage their hotels. Some are also allowed to set up booths near tourist destinations. Others rely on the money that they receive through relatives in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, etc. However, medicine is a popular source of income in Cuba. They have one of the largest percentages of physicians and dentists when compared with other countries. Thousands have been sent to other impoverished nations to assist in conflicting medical issues.

virually everyone in cuba is "employed" by the state. the notible exception are the farmers. There are collective farms but the majority of production comes from private plots.What you have to understand about your question is that an a state wage one can NOT live (about $16/MONTH. the best jobs are in tourism (entertainer, tourguide, resort worker) since they come in contact with $. taxi driver is also coveted. unemployment is by choice and may be as high as 25% since they can make more money on the black market, making brooms, selling stuff on the street.

Answer 4

Number one ocupation is



Jineterismo!



Jineterismo is a term used to describe an alleged number of illegal or semi-legal economic activities related to tourism in Cuba. These activities include prostitution and pimping, as well as other forms of hustling, such as selling black-market and counterfeit goods. The term derives from the Spanish jinete meaning horserider. The word jinetera means "jockey" in Continental and Standard Spanish,[1] but in Cuban slang is a female sex-worker. The United States Department of State defines jinetero as:

“ street "jockeys," who specialize in swindling tourists. While most jineteros speak English and go out of their way to appear friendly, for example, by offering to serve as tour guides or to facilitate the purchase of cheap cigars, many are in fact professional criminals who will not hesitate to use violence in their efforts to acquire tourists' money and other valuables. ”
