Samoans have been migrating since the 1950’s. American Samoan Migration report based on the 1980 Census is available through the Samoan Migrants link.

All of the reports in this series refer to GDP (Gross Domestic Product). This choice of terms is meant to stress the close relationship between the production/ coverage of these estimates of aggregate economic activity in the insular areas and the analogous figures for the United States. The term GTP (Gross Territorial Product) is also used in the table below to highlight the fact that the insular areas are not independent national entities. For general purposes, the terms GDP and GTP are equivalent. Note that the estimates below are based on value added methodolgy using data from the economic census, and appear only once every five years. In the near future, we expect to post annual estimates for all territories based upon income and expenditure methodologies.
