Obama Plans To Boost Puerto Rico’s Economy
On Monday, Barack Obama laid out his plan to strengthen Puerto Rico’s economy and reduce the high rate of unemployment.
Obama’s campaign has vowed to create a task force to boost economic development and create jobs in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico currently has a per capita income about half that of the poorest U.S. states. Dios mio, HALF!
Obama’s plan would provide incentives to encourage U.S. businesses to generate jobs in Puerto Rico.
He also wants to encourage investment in rural Puerto Rico and explore programs to develop renewable energy to help charge the local economy.
