Interesting article on the economic push factors spurring the new Puerto Rican diaspora

2/9/2014

The New York Times reports on the "worrisome exodus of professionals and middle-class Puerto Ricans who have moved to places like Florida and Texas" in the face of deteriorating economic and social conditions on the island. The upsurge in off-island migration is likened the that of the 1950s "when job shortages on the island forced farmers and rural residents to find factory work in cities like New York and Boston. Today it is doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, professors who are leaving Puerto Rico behind". The major receiving centers appear to be different then versus now, but the emergence of a new diaspora will have implications on- and off-island.

Good job is issue in ever where and peoples are to much which require the job but job is not enough for them. So we should try to start the business in small level and it is good to give the jobs of other peoples.
