||||||
| Manufacturing represents a substantial portion of the Puerto Rican economy. In the 1940s the Puerto Rican government launched Operation Bootstrap, a program designed to improve economic conditions on the island. Attracted by low wages, tax incentives, and government assistance with start-up costs, businesses from the United States opened manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico.
