Guyana Public, Private Sector Talent Seeking in New York

The advent of the oil and gas era in Guyana has already sparked an expansive state-led drive to attract global attention to the prospects held in the promise of the emerging petro-state, and the Guyanese government has also targeted Guyanese abroad with an ever-expanding public relations drive to encourage them to return home and take up the new job opportunities that are likely to arise in a changing society. It is no wonder that the United States, where several thousand Guyanese have settled over the years, is the country that has been most targeted as a likely location for recruiting Guyanese to take up the jobs that are expected to arise in Guyana in the coming period in both the public and private sectors, as the country’s economy grows against the backdrop of a growing oil economy.
