Today the majority of Chamorros live in small villages and their main occupation is vegetable gardening. There are also many Chamorros who live in urban areas in Guam as well as in Saipan.

In the rural districts of Guam there are Chamorros who still practice the basics of the ancient economy with certain modifications. Today the majority of Chamorros are still peasant horticulturalists and native families either own or lease sufficient area of land to grow their own food.

The production of coconuts for copra(dried meat of the coconut, used to make coconut oil) is the main agricultural pursuit. Otherwise most of the farmers consist of a few acres planted in bananas and papaya. There are occasional trees of avocados, mangoes, oranges, lemons, limes, and tangerines; one or two acres of corn and miscellaneous vegetables. Every farm has a few chickens, pigs and a cow or carabao. 

Some men and women are trained as school teachers,a few men are expert fishermen, net makers and menders, carpenters, canoe builders and storekeepers. A few women are specialists at pandanus plaiting, midwifery and herb healing, but most of these engage in their specialty only part of the time. In addition, the men cultivate gardens and the women run households and raise families.

Fishing is also very popular occupation, but it is not used as the main way of living. Fishing is essentially a men's occupation in modern Guam. As a result of the conditions presented by the Marianas lagoons and the habits of the fish inhabiting them, the indigenous people have developed a fishing technology, including some unique fishing methods.
