Re: Walmart Job Application

Thanks Karibien - I'm having a hybrid SBH/Cuba birthday -

The SBH part is my Mount Gay and Coke cocktails a Le Select and the Cuba portion is my wife Dyanne made my favorite food of all time, Picadillos over rice with the two fried eggs over the rice - an orgasmic culinary experience for a Cuban. In fact, the 11 million or so Cubans stuck in "the socialist (read Communist) paradise" that is Cuba, would donate their testicles and their first born son or daughter for what I am having for dinner tonight.

BTW, Karibien, there are a lot of Cubans in Sweden and there is an interesting website which you should look at based in Sweden which I will PM you. Imagine that, sun and heat loving Cubans living happily in the land of the midnight sun and freezing their "arsses" off in the Swedish winter.
 
Re: Walmart Job Application

I hope you had a fantastic birthday, a wonderful meal - and I hope Cubans around the world all have their offspring and all bodyparts intact!

Forgive me for hijacking the thread, but I was kind of intrigued by the thought of "sun and heat loving Cubans living happily in the land of the midnight sun and freezing their "arsses" off in the Swedish winter" so I decided to find out something about them.

This is some figures:
(Just to get you into proportions - Sweden has a population of 9.1 million people, out of those about 1.2 million are born in another country, the largest group are born in Finland, that's 181.000, next yugoslavi/ex-yoguslavi-contries and third Iraq. Living in Sweden, born in the USA, are 15.000 people. Btw, there has never been more immigrants coming to Sweden than in 2006. 95.750 is the highest number since we started recording these things in 1875.)

Statistics about residents and their place of birth are only available online for the years 2000-2006

Last year there was 1935 people born in Cuba living in Sweden
The numbers have been rising from 1489 in the year 2000

The population is mostly male
200-2006 it was 40-45 % women

They are mostly adults, the biggest age groups are 35-39 and 40-44
Only 62 kids 12 and under
151 teenagers
89 in their retirement years 65-94
(yes, there were last year 3 Cubans 90-94 years old living in Sweden - I guess those chilly winters preserve ;)

The last four years there has been
about 50 people leaving Sweden every year for Cuba
before that even fewer, 18-38

And 120-163 people leaving Cuba for Sweden
with the exception of one year when only 97 came to Sweden from Cuba, that was 2001

The statistics doesn't say wether those immigrants/emigrants also was born i Cuba in the first place

The statistics for citizenship goes back to 1973
Up until 1991 there were less than 50 people living in Sweden with Cuban citizenship
Then there is a rise, accelarating 1994-1995 at about 500 people, peaking at the millenium with 979 people with Cuban or double citizenship. The numbers have then decread to last years 754

Who are these Cubans coming to Sweden, what do they do, why did they come to Sweden, and what kept them staying?

They aren't working at Wal-Mart, that's for sure
(no WM in Sweden)

Yet . . . . :)

There are people hoping for it, in a swedish macworldforum I found a thread on the topic Things you wish you had, and this one guy longed for Wal-Marts, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Star Bucks, Krispie Kream, Macaronies & Cheese, Nestl
