Barbers work at a barber shop in Granma province, Cuba, on June 9, 2017. In Granma province, where Bayamo is located, Cuba's self-employed, as this growing segment is called, contributed nearly 40 million pesos (39.8 million U.S. dollars) to the provincial government in the first four months of the year. Daniel Silveira, vice president of the local government, told Xinhua the cooperatives are a good source of jobs and have benefited as many as 100,000 local residents -- if taking into account not just those employed, but also their families.
