Exploring Economic and Social Reality: Statistics and Their Impact

The collaborative activity, between the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics and the United States Census Bureau, took place on Friday, October 4, 2024, at the Criollo Center for Caribbean Science and Technology (C3Tec). The purpose of the conference was to clarify various sources and statistics available to the public. As part of the mission of both entities, to provide statistical information on the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico, two sections were organized aimed at the audience of the government, private sector, academia and researchers, as well as the general public.

The Initiative:

The conference focused on economic and social indicators for the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico, covering multiple specific indicators and showing participants the tools or sources to access them. Among the topics presented were the following: Building Permit Survey, Quarterly Workforce Indicators, Community Resilience Estimates, Census Business Builder, Puerto Rico Profile webpage, Migration and Workforce Structure and the Cost of Living Index (COLI). At the end of the conference, the diverse information shared was reviewed and related questions and doubts were addressed, in order to guide participants to explore economic and social aspects of Puerto Rico using the available statistics.
