Saint Lucia has seen a significant upturn in employment in recent years. Prime Minister Pierre’s economic policies accelerated our post-COVID recovery and revitalised the local job market.
National employment has increased from 75,016 jobs in 2020 to 97,394 jobs in 2023. That represents 86% of the working population!
The sharp rise in employment confirms the local job market is strengthening under Prime Minister Pierre’s leadership. His economic policies empower small businesses, provide direct support to young entrepreneurs and facilitate growth and expansion in the private sector.
Saint Lucia has seen consecutive declines in the unemployment rate every year since Prime Minister Pierre came into Office in July 2021. Unemployment dropped from 21.9% in 2021 to 16.5% in 2022 to a near record-low of 14% in 2023!
It’s not just about numbers. The government is working to make the local economy more conducive for hiring and job creation. The Pierre Administration will continue implementing the right mix of economic policies to attract foreign investment, stimulate wealth creation and encourage economic growth in the local economy to drive unemployment down into single digits and connect Saint Lucians with sustainable, good-paying jobs.
Rest assured, Saint Lucia, the job is not done.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
