UNITED States Ambassador to Jamaica Luis Moreno sees call centres as a growth industry for Jamaica and, as such, wants to triple employment in the sector, hopefully within a year.
That target, though, has one obstacle -- the lucrative and destructive lottery scam. However, Moreno and his Government have pumped a lot of resources into efforts to eradicate the illegal practice.
"US call centres employ nearly 10,000 Jamaicans right now, if I'm not mistaken," Moreno told the Jamaica Observer in an interview two Wednesdays ago.
