Camacho 2009 THE HONORABLE FELIX P. CAMACHO GOVERNOR OF GUAM THE HONORABLE MICHAEL W. CRUZ, M.D. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Bureau of Statistics and Plans Bureau of Planning ALBERTO A. LAMORENA V Government of Guam DIRECTOR A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present to you the “2008 Guam Statistical Yearbook.” This yearbook presents current and historical trends statistics on the social, economic and the environmental structure of Guam’s economy. Sound information forecasting and understanding the strength and direction of Guam’s economy depend heavily on economic and demographic statistics. As Guam’s economy continues to grow, coupled with the anticipated military buildup and the influx of citizens from the Freely Associated States, it is evident construction and infrastructure development will escalate. Additionally, demands for health care, education, and social services will increase. The Guam Statistical Yearbook serves as a very important instrument in providing useful information needed to support economic diversification and prosperity for our people. This report prepares our government, business and civic leaders with the components needed to efficiently develop direct and long term goals to deal with our island’s needs and boost investment opportunities to local and potential businesses. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many Government of Guam agencies, businesses, and countless others for their contribution in making available critical information for public use. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff and management of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans for their dedication and hard work in making this publication possible.
