In factual statistics how many local person in those local business are actually a functional employed within said contracted bda companies? It is seen so much none Bermudian saturating the job market within so called local business.

For CRYING OUT LOUD MAN! first, educate your self on the Bermuda economy works and second, if you’re so concerned then YOU open a business and come back and tell us how many Bdians you employ. then come back 2 months after that and tell us how many Bdians you STILL employ. bye go sidown or put your money where you’re mouth is.
