Young people in Panama finding it harder to get a job

Economy

When it comes to finding a job , young people have the most difficult task. Be men or women, live in Panama, London or the United States.

In the Panamanian case, it is estimated that each year about 70,000 young people intend to enter the labor market, according to official statistics, but are at least twice as likely as adults not to find a job.

Part of the problem is that there is no connection between what young people study and what the market demands.

On the other hand, some young people attend bachelor’s degrees and then specializations or master’s degrees, but when they go out in search of a job they are limited by lack of experience.

Some applicants are selected from the vacancies available, but again the lack of experience becomes an obstacle to achieving their salary aspirations.

Those who find themselves in this situation usually reject the offers or take them temporarily until they balance their finances and continue looking for the dream job.

He’s launching hard-power trade wars to please voters marginalized by the globalized economy. He’s acting on despair over fentanyl’s murderous toll. He’s launched a migrant crackdown amid anxiety over a porous southern border. And the president, with the help of Elon Musk, is starting …

DAY One of New TRUMP era, and PANAMA is on the agenda.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/17/politics/trump-panama-canal-threats-history-mulino/index.html Panama City, PanamaCNN —  The new Panamanian ambassador was given strict instructions as he prepared to meet then-President Donald Trump one day in 2019: Do not engage him in any substantive discussion of critical issues.

LINTON BAY comes on the heels of $144 Million earmarked for Colon tourism in 2025.

OP ED: Colon has been a shithole and armpit for an entirely too long time. These outer areas of Panama have needed to be addressed for decades (espescially BOCAS del TORO ) in order to truly maximize the “tourism” of PANAMA.  Honestly, NOBODY comes to Panama to hang out in Panama …
