PRI-PUERTO-RICO-STRUGGLES-WITH-IMPENDING-DEBT-CRISIS
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO - NOVEMBER 14: Public water utility workers fix a pipe in Old San Juan on November 14, 2013 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, are just one of the about 250,000 public workers on and island of 3.8 million.The Government remains the largest employer in Puerto Rico and can only service about 11 percent of the pension costs out of it's budget. The island-territory of the United States is on the brink of a debt crisis as lending has skyrocketed in the last decade with the government issuing municipal bonds mostly to finance pensions. Market analysts have rated those bonds as junk and suspect it's 70 billion dollar debt might be unserviceable in the near future.
