El gobernador quiere cuadrar el presupuesto incentivando el retiro de empleados públicos a pesar de que el sistema de retiro esta al borde de la quiebra. Aún peor, la tasa de participación en la fuerza laboral en Puerto Rico es sumamente baja. ?Cómo podrán unos pocos trabajadores mantener a muchos retirados? Ese plan tampoco cuadra.
"Tenemos un sinnúmero de propuestas de reorganización gubernamental, de retiro temprano, de retiro incentivado. (dijo Acevedo Vilá)"

"Half the Working-age men in Puerto Rico do not work. Officially, only 46% of those who are not pursuing a degree have formal jobs, compared with a United States average of 76%. The territory does have a big informal economy. But Maria Enchautegui at the University of Puerto Rico and Richard Freeman at Harvard University have looked into this, and reckon that counting unofficial workers boosts the employment rate only to 55%, at best. Their research is included in a new book on the island's problems, put together by two think-tanks: the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, and the Centre for the New Economy in San Juan."
