I know this is in the mind of most people, here are some articles that I think will be interesting to read.

Turism: Seems we are depending a lot on Cruise Ships, looks like we are getting more and bigger ones which should be good. However I am not convinced that Cruise ships is the best for the island, after all they are only in the island for a few hours so there is little opportunity for them to consume much of anything. I personally think that attracting them to our hotels and gusthouses would make it a better deal for PR instead of Cruise Ships. http://skift.com/2015/11/14/san-juans-n … ise-ships/
Unemployment and Hourly wage: There is a debate about the possibility of making $15.00 and in some cases $12.00 an hour a required minimum. I think it would be a disaster for poor states and for Puerto Rico. Yes, some people that are lucky enough to keep their jobs will make a better living, but a lot of others will loose their job because the employers will not be able to afford them. Those that keep their job will also end up doing the job of the ones that become unemployed. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/ … nimum-wage
Debt Relief: I was a little surprised about this article since I been hearing that the republicans were either ignoring or against helping PR. http://fortune.com/2015/11/20/puerto-rico-default-debt/
*** Read the above and see if in your case you should panic or if there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I personally think that things will get better but that there will be some bumps in the road.
What do you think?
