Puerto Rico Unemployment Offices

Puerto Rico's 19 unemployment and career center offices are spread across 19 municipalities on an island whose economy has faced a difficult few decades — a long manufacturing decline, the loss of federal tax incentives that once anchored pharmaceutical production, and the lasting economic disruption of Hurricane Maria — all of which have kept unemployment well above the U.S. mainland average. Find your municipality in the list below.
