I can't believe someone actually asked this! People in Trinidad and Tobago earn a living just like everyone else in the world. There are many educated individuals who find jobs in the local private and public sectors. There are entrepreneurs, bankers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, caterers... you name it. Jobs vary from the primary (agricultural) sector to the secondary (commercial) sector. The Trinidad and Tobago economy however is mainly supported by its oil and natural gas industry which provides jobs for a significant portion of its population. Tobago's economy is more focused on Tourism and also provides a significant portion of the country's annual GDP. In addition to the exportation of oil and natural gas, a small amount of revenue is generated from the export of locally grown produce. Trinidad's economy provides a variety jobs and so, many of its Caribbean neighbours actually migrate to Trinidad for employment. Some even consider it (the country) to be the "New York" of the Caribbean.
Trinidad and Tobago is a multicultural nation with a diverse population, including people of African, Indian, European, and Indigenous descent.

The French brought a Carnival like thing and then the slaves created their own Carnival with the drums and costumes and all the other things that Carnival has. That is why there are so many french words in the celebration. Words like "j'ouvert", "Dimanche gras", "fete", "Mardi Gras", 'jab jab", "ministrel" and " Pierrot Grenade". The Damme Lorraine specifically was just the slaves' way of mocking the french mistresses. Their asses were flat and they had little breasts...so they would put pads in their bras and something to make it look as though they had bottom.
There are 41 constituencies in Trinidad and Tobago.
