Puerto Rico's Financial Storm, Part One

Latino USA | Jun 26, 2018
Puerto Ricans are still rebuilding after Hurricane Maria devastated the island and its infrastructure last September. But, in some ways, the bigger story when it comes to Puerto Rico's long-term future is the island's economic crisis. In part one of a two-part series produced in collaboration with WNYC, we look at how Puerto Rico became mired in billions of dollars worth of debt, how it's affecting Puerto Ricans, and what the commonwealth is doing to try to dig itself out. Featuring veteran business reporter Jane Sasseen.
