Economy
Industrial estates have been built in an effort to encourage light industrial development. On these estates, consumer goods, such as handicrafts, soap and perfume, are produced.
The tourist industry is growing slowly; government employment accounts for the bulk of the country’s service sector.
The government’s economic priorities have been to tackle the lack of infrastructure. Shortage of skilled workers and this lack of infrastructure have combined, along with its remote location, to inhibit American Samoa’s economic development.
American Samoa is a member of the South Pacific Commission.
