Though the title of the article insinuates partisanship, the content bears the ring of truth for the state of American Samoas economy. It has been a known fact that raising the minimum wage in American Samoa raises costs for employers. Thats mainly why Chicken of the Sea (Samoa Packing) abandoned operations in American Samoa in 2009. All the more reason for us to start tapping into our innovative minds and leverage our culture and natural resources to stop the downward spiral and become economically self-sufficient. What are your thoughts on this topic?
