Around 17,000, mostly Chinese, have been employed by garment manufacturers. Some cattle is raised, and coconuts, coffee and tropical fruits grown. Factbook: " The economy benefits substantially from financial assistance from the US. The rate of funding has declined as locally generated government revenues have grown. The key tourist industry employs about 50% of the work force and accounts for roughly one-fourth of GDP. Japanese tourists predominate. Annual tourist entries have exceeded one-half million in recent years. (2005), but financial difficulties in Japan have caused a temporary slowdown. The agricultural sector is made up of cattle ranches and small farms producing coconuts, breadfruit, tomatoes, and melons. Garment production is by far the most important industry with employment of 17,500 mostly Chinese workers and sizable shipments to the US under duty and quota exemptions."

It is located about 3,000 miles west of Hawaii. In 1975, the islanders voted to form a commonwealth, and in 1978 they became self-governing. Capital: Saipan Governor: Mr. Pedro P. Tenorio Population: 44,800 (1992) – mostly on Saipan CNMI’s economy is based on trade, fishing, agriculture, light manufacturing and tourism. Geography: The Marianas mark the dividing line between the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea. CNMI’s main islands are Saipan, Rota, and Tinian – a combined land area of about 184 square miles. Pagan, Asuncion, and Farallon de Pajaros are active volcanoes. Major Hazards: Unlike Guam, the islands of CNMI do not have a history of being in the storm track. CNMI has suffered no major disasters in recent years, although its location in the Pacific makes it potentially subject to tropical storms or typhoons. Other possible hazards include earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, hazardous-material spills, and transportation accidents.

This script opens a separate window with the Census 2000 glossary Census 2000 Gateway Glossary Brief History of the Island Areas [text adapted from the Census Bureau's Geographic Areas Reference Manual (GARM)] American Samoa American Samoa is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States. It consists of five major volcanic islands and two coral atolls (see Figure 1) that lie in the heart of Polynesia, 2,500 miles south-southwest of Honolulu and 1,800 miles north-northeast of New Zealand. It is the only U.S. jurisdiction that lies south of the equator. Tutuila Island, which contains the historic capital of Pago Pago, the seat of government at Fagatogo, and the office of the Governor at Utulei, encompasses 70 percent of American Samoa's 77.3 square miles and over 95 percent of its 46,773 inhabitants (see Figure 1). In 1839, the visit of an American naval vessel marked the first official United States contact with this area. In 1872, the need for a coaling station brought about an agreement between the commander of the U.S. naval vessel Narragansett and the chief of Pago Pago; although the agreement was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, it prevented other nations from making claims on Pago Pago Harbor as international competition for bases in the South Pacific increased.
