"Economy and Crime Spur New Puerto Rican Exodus"

Of course, generally speaking, just because something is put into print doesn't make it true. That said, the economic and crime stats are dour.

I know quite some young professionals who left PR to go the mainland where they found a job. One of them is my beloved (step)daughter who lives and works in Miami, another is the guy 'round the corner who did pretty good as a shade tree mechanic but makes more than double in Texas where he is a supervisor in a solar panel installation company.

Interesting, indeed, and thanks for sharing. I wonder what PR will look like in another 10 years.
