The recently released “Survey of Living Conditions” in Jamaica (2012) shows a unprecedented increase in the poverty levels in the country and is the highest since 2002.
The lowest level of poverty in Jamaica was sometime in 2008.
One of the major surprises in the survey, was the fact that Kingston and St Andrew is the second poorest parish in the country.
The poorest parishes as borne out by the survey are as follows
- St Thomas
- Kingston and St Andrew
- St Catherine.
The biggest shocker of the survey was information which suggested that the parish with the lowest poverty rate was St Mary at 9.5%.
So the times when Jamaicans have seen the worst levels of poverty have all been when the poor people champion Portia Simpson Miller and the PNP have been in power.
I think the survey speaks volumes .
