This inflationary period is just going to make matters worse for these people, and the government seems not to care one bit. The poor is getting poorer, the middle class is getting poor, and the rich getting richer.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of jobs is like is non-existent to this administration. In all the cabinet notes released weekly, I&#8217;ve never seen this government address how they are going to create jobs for the young people of this country. Every day I see these young people home not working which makes me sad inside. This government has not addressed how they plan to tackle the issue of unemployment and about job creation within the government and private sectors. All they seem to be concerned about is keep the current government workers employed, hoping that they will vote for them next election. This is truly sad.<\/p><div id=\"antig-427593828\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Instead of addressing inflation and creating jobs, we have a government that seems not to care.
