The Benefits of Island life

With a population of around 65,000 people, and with over 100 restaurants, bars, clubs, and theatres, the social scene is extensive. Surrounded by a ring of beaches, the temperate climate, with more warmth and sunshine than any other part of the British Isles, makes it one of Europe's best locations for outdoor activities.

Unemployment in Guernsey has been maintained at low levels for many years and stands at less than 1% of the workforce. The Island's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is £1,905m (£31,750 per head of population). Finance is the mainstay of the economy; of the approximately 31,700 people employed in the Island, around 7,500 (24%) are employed in the finance sector itself, which is the most profitable (43%) and largest earning – remuneration and profits – (36%) sector, also making up around 70% of the Island's export economy.

In all, the professional impact of moving to Guernsey, coupled with the financial benefits, and the quality of life, makes it a very favourable choice and easy to settle into. A move to Guernsey is highly prized and because of that, housing restrictions apply.
