14 What Lies Ahead for Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands? Both territories were in precarious shape, economically & fiscally, prior to hurricanes Irma & Maria. Irma & Maria caused substantial damage and disruption: More than 1,000 lost lives, attributable to the storms, in Puerto Rico. Widespread damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure, agriculture. Puerto Rico s power outage has been the biggest, by far, in US history. To begin to gauge the likely economic effect, we look at: How many people left following the storms? and how many will return? What can satellite imagery of nighttime lights tell us about the persistence and geographic breadth of the disruption? How severe have the measured job losses been thus far? What sectors were affected most and has there been any bounce-back? 13

20 Regional Recap NYC continues to lead the region in job growth. Fairfield County and much of upstate New York have lagged. Manufacturers report brisk growth in business activity, while service firms indicate more subdued growth. NYC s key securities industry has barely contributed to the city s boom; but brisk growth in a variety of other sectors, notably tech, has contributed to a broad-based expansion. Puerto Rico & USVI were devastated by Irma & Maria. Compounding this, they both had economic & fiscal problems beforehand. Puerto Rico s economy has shown signs of resilience. Looking ahead, the recovery will be affected by the degree of outmigration, external aid, fiscal and other reforms. 19
