| Additional information |
Jamaica's "Year of the Worker" dollar was issued in 1988 to commemorate the International Labour Organisation's ongoing campaign recognizing labor rights across developing nations. The timing was deliberate — Jamaica's economy was under severe strain from IMF structural adjustment programs throughout the 1980s, and the government was eager to signal solidarity with its workforce even as public sector wages were being compressed.
Relatively few of these circulated in the conventional sense; most were absorbed by collectors at point of issue.
