Prime Minister Gaston Browne has challenged the opposition to produce the names of any unemployed skilled workers in Antigua and Barbuda, as government prepares to bring in additional foreign tradesmen to meet rising construction demands.
The Prime Minister issued the call on Pointe FM while discussing national development and labour shortages, saying the administration is moving ahead with plans to expand the workforce for housing and infrastructure projects.
Government has signaled that a new round of foreign workers will be recruited to accelerate major builds scheduled for 2026.
Browne said the opposition has repeatedly claimed that local tradesmen—including carpenters, masons, electricians and plumbers—are out of work, but he insisted that no evidence has been presented to support those claims.
He invited opposition figures to compile and submit names so they can be employed immediately.
The government has argued that ongoing housing developments and reconstruction initiatives require more labour than is currently available locally, prompting the decision to import additional workers.
The administration maintains that once verifiable lists of unemployed skilled citizens are provided, those individuals will be prioritized for placement ahead of foreign recruits.

Is employment a political issue?
Isn’t emplo6supposed to be secured based on skills and competence?
So idiotic laboRATs were clapping at the politicization of employment?
This is indicative of a polarized, political, and uneducated sate.
It is evidence of a cultists state.
The opposition I hope is not foolish to fall for Gaston bait where he compartmentalize them in the same ideological narrative that Gaston thinks of Antigua people, if you do so the onliest accomplishment is to denigrate the efforts of our knowledgeable skill trades men and women that has worked internationally, I myself has excell abroad, but was stymied in my country of birth.
The motives of packing the country with voters from these commonwealth country is well planned as the ALP politicians know that their amassing of wealth is criminal, so they prepare their protection in office by acquiring new voters, but I say to Gaston and the ALP politicians and police and civil servants, power is like ice in the sun, it will eventually leave you.
Again, this man dances for everyone else but his own people, who he only usedy to stay in office.
They are refugees from other war torn nations and nations getting rid of their undesirables which Gaston is accepting with open arms and borders for a few.
When the tables turn Gaston will be long gone leaving his shit behind to be cleaned up by others.
