Puerto Rico Essay

One of the topics we discussed last week was the potential for corporate executives to begin relocating to Puerto Rico. This is due to the aggressive tax breaks your government is offering corporations.
When a Director, VP or SVP is relocated, they traditionally require temporary housing + a car from 30 to 100 days.
Finding long-term housing + an automobile traditionally falls to their employer’s Human Resource Department.
Frequently they will use the services of a third party- a corporate relocation specialist. Most of these specalists are located in the US and Canada. They deal directly with local corporate housing providers, villa rental companies and large apartment communities.
Locally you will be searching for either “corporate lodging” or “corporate

Another company that may also be a good source to help you identify those individuals locally who get involved in corporate housing is Corporate Housing By Owner -https://www.corporatehousingbyowner.com/search/Puerto-Rico/
I strongly suggest you first “Google” both corporate housing and corporate lodging in Puerto Rico.
I also strongly urge you to “follow” on LinkedIn -the top 35 largest corporations in Puerto Rico.
What you're looking for is future press releases announcing the hiring of new executives from the US, Canada, the Caribbean and Europe.
I also strongly urge you to set up a “Google Alert” for each of these top corporations. This will ensure you never miss any news or information they put out.

Another topic we discussed was a New York-based chain of travel agencies called The Affluent Traveler Collection. This is a chain of travel agents who’s priority isservice high net worth travelers. Here is the URL for this chain of travel agencies. http://www.theaffluenttraveler.com/ On Facebook:

    The United States won control over Puerto Rico in 1898 after the Spanish-American War was over, Spain had surrendered the remainder of its overseas colonial empire to the United States. Even though Puerto Ricans were not considered citizens of the United States till 1917 with the Jones Act some say that “Puerto Ricans have been ‘born in the U.S.A’ since 1898.” (Nieto, 515) Once the United States had control over Puerto Rico, they had to decide the relationship with them and in 1952 they establish the status as a commonwealth. Puerto Rico gained its own Constitution and although they can organize their local government how they want to, Congress power over the U.S territory did not change or decreased. Once this relationship was established…

    Founded on December 5, 1492 by Christopher Columbus, the island of Hispaniola was originally inhabited by the Taíno Arawak people. Ayiti, which means “mountainous land,” is a name used by its early inhabitants; the Taino-Arawak people, who also called it Bohio, which denotes “rich villages,” and Quisqueya, which signifies “high land.” The said Taínos were South American Arawaks, with Taíno meaning “the good” or “noble” in their language. Many of the Taíno-Arawak people are extinct but, there are a few survivors that are mixed with African slaves and European conquerors. Columbus on the other hand had to leave 39 of his men being that they settled in La Navidad; because he left his men, enslavement became such an issue since the treatment of…

    Politically, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, which according to the U.S. Supreme Court's Insular Cases is "a territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States within the revenue clauses of the Constitution. " This condition is known as Commonwealth, or, in spanish, Estado Libre Asociado (Associated Free State). The basic question regarding this issue is whether Puerto Rico should remain a U.S. territory, become a U.S. state or become an independent country. American and Puerto Rican political activities regarding the status question have revolved around three sets of initiatives: presidential executive orders, bills in the U.S. Congress, and referenda held in Puerto Rico. U.S. Presidents have issued three executive orders on the subject, and Congress has considered four major bills on Puerto Rico's political status.…

    The U.S. Congress does have the ability to enact effective immigration reform but in order to do so; Congress needs to refocus their views from being prevention oriented to assisting immigrants in entering the U.S. legally and for a lawful purpose. Immigration reform should provide for the ability for more workers to legally enter the U.S., especially in industries such as agriculture and construction which require a large workforce. The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that it is generally focused on keeping people out of the United States; as opposed to welcoming them in due to the economic needs of our country.…

    To obtain the data needed for the question, I first downloaded the dataset per instruction of the question. Specifically, I obtained the data of “rental commitments minimum – 5-year total” and “total liabilities,” assuming that these data reflect firms’ lease commitments and total liabilities. The dataset was then organized as follows: To throw out the “bad data,” I sorted out all the rows containing blank cells by the “filter” tool and removed all the duplicated rows by the “remove duplicates” tool. One assumption I had made here was this dataset represented all the firms in the market in 2014.…
