Fastest declining jobs in Guam, 2024–34

Ranked by projected percent change in employment from 2024 to 2034 in Guam, most negative first. A declining projection does not mean a job is disappearing — most of these still hire steadily to replace people who leave.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
