There are continuing vacancies available on Andersen Air Force Base, mostly federal or federal contract positions that are temporary, part-time and full-time. While there are opportunities outside the base, unless special qualifications are required by the employer with commensurate compensation, most of the wages are at minimum level. Guam frequently experiences labor shortages. Much of the unemployment is driven by the cyclical nature of the hotel and visitor industry.
