Full recovery won’t happen anytime soon for our island, however, until the visitor industry returns to some semblance of pre-pandemic normalcy. And, unfortunately, that day won’t be coming anytime soon.
But Guam has been able to survive the economic hardships caused by the coronavirus, thanks in large part to federal programs, grants and direct funding.
The Paycheck Protection Program allowed many businesses to keep operating and employing their workers. The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program poured tens of millions of dollars into the island, helping those who lost their jobs due to COVID-19 pay their bills, put food on the table for their families and cover other costs.

Guam’s workers were hit hard by the shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those who work in the island’s hotel and restaurant industry.
Many had their hours dramatically reduced or lost their jobs, and those who qualify have had to rely on federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. But that money expires in September, and the island’s tourism industry won’t recover any time in the near future.
Despite record unemployment on the island, there are opportunities for those looking to expand their skill sets by getting free training in a new career.
