Some brief searching of my own tells me that, while the unemployment numbers are roughly correct, the actual pay for those jobs are so low that they have a rough time actually being able to afford anything. Like, minimum wage is 2100 Cuban Pesos per month, but one set of clothing costs about 9700 on average.
Plenty of people have hard time affording anything in US as well, and lots of people end up working multiple jobs now because jobs don’t even pay a living wage.
Cuba is a tiny island under a blockade by the burger empire, meanwhile the burger empire has stunning amounts of wealth. Anybody who’s not an utter imbecile can understand what the point here is.

There’s a world of difference in having a hard time affording things like a car or a home and having a hard time affording food or clothing.
Forget food and clothing, millions of Americans can’t even afford to feed themselves https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america
And Cuba is even worse so what even is your point?
