Puerto Rico Labor Secretary Gabriel Maldonado-González greets Gov. Pedro Pierluisi during an event to discuss initiatives for job creation and retention.
“Retaining the existing population and attracting people to return is crucial to strengthening the economy and the manufacturing industry, which accounts for about 46% of the country’s income. This effort requires a multisectoral approach that encompasses both social and economic factors.”
— Ramón Vega-Alejandro, executive director, Puerto Rico Manufacturing Extension (PRiMEX)
