Is it hard to find a job in DR?

I wonder how hard it is to find Employment in DR. Me and a friend are thinking about moving there for maybe a year or longer. We can work for food, somewhere to say and a small sallary. We'd like to work in a Hotel as bartender, in reception or something like that. We've lived there for two weeks and saw that some hotels had swedish people in the bars or working in the hotel area. Where can you apply for these kinds of employment?

If it were easy to get work, especially for someone who's not a professor or an MD, then there wouldn't be so many people like my estranged husband immigrating both legally and illegally to get out of the DR. There must be a problem with finding work. Why else would so many Dominicans not want to re-elect the young, American-educated president that they have? Many are actually considering voting for the 90-something year-old blind guy who pees himself and has lots of money and doesn't care about the people. He served under the former dictator Trujillo and he hasn't done much for the country except build a monument to Columbus that the people didn't want and threw parades for foreign dignitaries while people like my mother-in-law turned on the water faucet and nothing came out. When I went there, I saw an awful lot of men home all day. They din't have jobs. Either work was not available or they didn't want to work. Lots of them survived by having family members in the US come here and get welfare and food stamps and send the money "back home." I met a lady down there who knew no English but she could say "welfare" so I guess that average work is scarce.
