The one thing that is constant is change. So correct. Times are changing. Cuban President Raul Castro has announced that a portion of government workers are being “laid off” to encourage more private sector jobs. In doing this, he also must now consider what industries there are that will absorb these workers. Currently Cuba has a list of 124 jobs that are “authorized” as self-employment. They include toy repairer, music teacher and piñata salesman. There is still need for policy changes within the government. While it is permissible to manufacture furniture, mass production is discouraged. Instead there must be an order for a piece of furniture. Cuba has been economically supplemented by Venezuela but that country may have difficulties with keeping us this practice. Industries that Cuba is looking to consider include oil, tourism and biotechnology. The information that I am including in this blog comes from the Wall Street Journal (an article written by Jose De Cordora and Nicholas Casey on September 14, 2010). Cubans realize that the world is changing and that economically they cannot be left as the only nation not moving forward in globalization. Could Cuba be one of those nations for Vera Wang and a renewed tourist location for destination weddings?
