Toa Baja is a nice place to live in. All the commodities of the metropolitan area and the feeling of the country side. Of course, as anywhere else you have your good places and your not so good ones. All the Levittown sections of Toa Baja are great to raise a family.
In terms of the job market, it would help a little more if you specified in what field you were interested in. From the banking industry to the restaurant one, we have it all. Also, you are not limited to work in Toa Baja, San Juan, Guaynabo, as well as Bayamón are a couple of minutes away; (from ten to 45 minutes taking traffic into account).
Also, as anywhere else, not every job interview is going to be informal. Actually, they are the least. Thus, come to impress.
You may also try any of the job hunting companies in the Internet right now. Most employers have posted positions in them.
The only good advice given by our friend up is to bring money for at least three months expenditures. It should be six. Just in case.
In terms of what is happening right now, unfortunately there are two "touchy" subjects in Puerto Rico, Religion and Politics. The latter has been in the public eye for most of the last two years because of the handling of certain decisions. It affected everybody at the end of May, yet by now everything is back to normal.
Most people are friendly and will go out of their way to aid you in any way they can.
My advise... visit the place you are going to stay. Stay for a couple of weeks. Ask around. See if it is what you and your boyfriend are looking for before deciding to move.

It seems such as you would be residing with kinfolk individuals so which you will probable save in lease, yet do not assume to have a lot of money. There are in simple terms some good paying jobs and each little thing in Puerto Rico is imported, which incorporate lots of the groceries, maximum of that are synthetic interior the U. S.. The interest subject there is damaging and the unemployment on the island is approximately sixteen%, that's 4 instances the U. S. unemployment cost. inner maximum motor vehicle coverage is prohibitively high priced. I had a 2000 Ford Ranger, and ought to not get a quote for below $1800 for a 6 month top classification. you will get coverage with the government, somewhat it rather is mandatory and is roofed interior the fee of the license plates, yet be forewarned, somewhat getting paid on a declare is a ineffective exercising, the government there is often broke. The crime cost in Puerto Rico is extremely intense, a lot so as that the FBI stopped which incorporate the homicide expenses with something of the country by using fact it skewed the averages. Puerto Rico's homicide cost is two times as intense. interior the final 5 years, extra Puerto Ricans have been murdered in PR, than US squaddies killed in Iraq..

There isn't any special kind of restriction on living in Puerto Rico since its a protectorate of the United States. Jobs are hard to come by and most Puerto Ricans want to come here to the states. If you work for the hotels down there maybe you can get a free room or they can give you a cheap place to live. I would recommend the El Conquistidor, the Hilton or the El San Juan Towers. For living there the social life is very different and it's very male oriented. Women are second class citizens. Men party on the weekend without their women and the women stay home and take care of the house and family. Think about this before you move.

Get your head examined. If there were decent jobs in PR, why do so many of them come here? And, no offense to your compadres, but it's got to be the most litter-ridden place I've ever heard of except for Haiti. Yuck.
If you're still determined to go, the folks you're staying with should know which locals to ask about jobs. Most of the hiring for better jobs (where they exist) is done informally through networks. Bring enough money to survive for at least 3 months *and* plane tickets home if you need them. Good luck.
