New York vs Florida: Which Path Did These Jamaicans Regret?

Описание: New York vs Florida: Why Jamaicans Chose Different Paths

Why did Jamaicans in the United States choose New York or Florida—and how did those choices shape their lives?

In this documentary-style video, we explore the powerful, often overlooked reasons behind the Jamaican diaspora’s two biggest migration paths. From Brooklyn to Broward, this is a story of work, housing, culture, identity, and survival.

Jamaicans are one of the most successful and influential Caribbean communities in the U.S., yet their experiences in New York and Florida look very different.

This video breaks down how history, labor demand, housing access, proximity to Jamaica, and U.S. immigration policy shaped those outcomes—and why the effects are still being felt today.

We also examine the impact of the 2026 U.S. immigrant visa pause on Jamaican families, remittances, healthcare labor, and future migration patterns. What does this mean for Jamaicans at home? What does it mean for the diaspora in the USA, Canada, and the UK?

This is not a debate about which place is better. It is an honest, fact-based look at how two paths emerged from the same island—and how those paths created different realities for Jamaican families across generations.
