Vail (Colorado) Now Recruiting In Puerto Rico
KMGH-TV, Channel 7 News (TheDenverChannel.com) by Deb Stanley
May 26, 2008

VAIL, Colorado -- The town of Vail has hired six people from Puerto Rico this summer to fill vacancies.

According to the Vail Daily newspaper, Vail's human-resources officials traveled to Puerto Rico this spring to test the waters for recruitment. Officials also put ads in newspapers.

Last year, the town employed about 35 Australian bus drivers and parking-booth attendants on H2B visas. But exemptions for returning works recently expired, and the town may not get all the H2B visas it needs under a nationwide cap of 66,000 visas a year.
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so workers are U.S. citizens.

The workers are willing to come to Vail because there are few job opportunities in Puerto Rico.

The Puerto Ricans will work their summer jobs through October.

Two workers told the newspaper they hope to get to Arapahoe Basin ski area before it closes for the season. They said they look forward to snowboarding and skiing.
