Quite sadly for Costa Rica, Intel has announced earlier this month that it will close its manufacturing in Costa Rica and transfer those jobs to Asia. That will be a loss of 1,500 manufacturing jobs. Intel will keep 1,200 jobs in its engineering and design facility and will add 200 more. This loss of high tech manufacturing jobs is a source of great concern in Costa Rica, of course, as I will explain further tomrrow.
This week we have photos from our recent cruise in Mexico's Sea of Cortez posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

I had no idea the Intel had a plant there. That is a sad loss for the country.
That's a surprise to me.
Too bad Intel is leaving, I'm sure this will impact their economy.
What a loss for those people!
