If you are Caymanian you will get a job anyway. 99% of companies are obliged to hire locals first. And yes, I wrote just hire, the pool of local "talent" is limited and obbligations towards local gov. must be met.
By line of principle I always entertained the idea of no welfare state, however higher cost of living leads to lower social mobility hence less competition, less new ideas, less buzz. London could never have been in Switzerland or Cayman.Comment
