About the local job market

Westmoreland is a major tourism and agriculture parish, home to the resort town of Negril and the Frome sugar estate. The parish combines a large hospitality sector along its coast with substantial sugarcane and food-crop farming inland, offering a dual employment base.

Negril's hotels, restaurants, and tour operations hire continuously for hospitality roles, particularly during the November-to-April high season. Frome and surrounding areas provide seasonal and year-round work in agriculture and agro-processing.

Westmoreland's mix of tourism and agriculture makes it a strong parish for workers in hospitality, farming, and skilled trades, with the resort corridor offering the highest concentration of service-sector jobs.
