Im from Puerto Rico and had to move to FL a couple of months ago 'cause finding a job in PR is REALLY difficult even when u have studies and or experience ...

My 2 brothers recently moved to the US too cause of it ...

I LOVE my island and I miss it .. but I'm being very honest here ... there arent many jobs in PR and even to be a Manager in a fast food place u NEED a bachelors degree

Anyways, U can always try these employment agencies :
Adecco , Kelly Services, ManPower or the main news papers over there like El Nuevo Dia (www.endi.com) or Primera Hora (www.primerahora.com)

Ohh and check this one too: www.clasificadosonline.com

See if the company u work for can give u a transfer too ! U never know =o)

GOOD LUCK !

1. Contact Careers Inc and other employment agencies over here. Tthey charge the employeers, not the candidates for their services.
2. Check employments ads at local newspapers like El Nuevo Dia (www.endi.com)

A Good Job is going to depend on what are you looking for.

The Puertorican Labor Force is highly educated hence making the technical and professional job openings very competitive. I worked for a global manufacturing company with plants in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Continental US, and others. When I compared the plants in Puerto Rico against the plants in the US I found that the Puertorican plants were able to have Manufacturing Engineers as Line Supervisors while the US Plants the Line Supervisors were without a college degree. In one of the plants there was an MRO Buyer with an MBA! You do not see that here in the US. Bottom line: for a professional job you will need a college degree as a minimum but will have an advantage with a Master Degree. And like other people said, be prepare to get pay lot less that in the US. Why do you think there are 4 million puertoricans in the continental US. It is not because they like the freezing cold.

If you are just looking for a blue collar job, then you should just forget it. Lots of the blue collar workers would qualify for food stamps under the continental US standards.

I miss PR also. I am sitting alone in my cushy office @ work....thinking...I HATE the winter...can I leave also. But as everyone said they pay is not that great....its a bit rough in PR with violence and poverty. I live in the burb's 2 mins from the ocean I can only use June-Sept. Sad but true...I would be a beach comber if my bank account was a little thicker to just take that cut.

I am glad the person above made that post because I have realized it is true otherwise most people would live in paradise
If you want to live on island you either have to have lots of money to open some kind of business or be willing to take a small paying job and relax and live simple.
The island is not a place to make a future if your young.
It is good for established people who worked hard and want to just relax the rest of there life.
Or locals who don't want to leave.
Good luck
If you young I would say try a cruise ship

If you find the perfect job you were looking for, being that you have a degree of some sort, You'll get paid 1/3 of what you make in the states. Minimun wage here is at least at par with the states $5.85 p/h. Real estate here is at par with San Diego California average home 250000 or about 35000 in the metro area.
