The unemployment rate for Puerto Rico before the hurricane was 12.5%.  Not great and a lot of people were looking for work. But you chose to highlight a misleading tidbit about 60% who are not working and "not looking for work", which includes a whole lot of people who are not working because they are babies, or grandparents, or school children, or........ A majority of Americans don't work either, and most of them are also not looking for work.
