March has brought us to a critical juncture in the legislative session and significant efforts were made to expand affordable housing, enhance agricultural growth, advance clean energy solutions, support small businesses, and cultivate a skilled workforce for emerging sectors. DBEDT’s core divisions and attached agencies have continued to engage in a variety of impactful activities and events.
The report provides concise statistical information and analyses on Labor, Income and Prices, Taxes, Tourism, Construction, and other indicators, as well as an overview of the State of Hawaii and the four counties.
February was another busy month as our department hosted workshops, programs, conferences, and marked milestones. This included the commemoration of the Hawaii-Ehime Prefecture sister-state reaffirmation, Made in Hawaii e-commerce conference, Creative Lab Music Immersive on Hawaii Island, publishing of the Hawaii Digital Equity Plan, and much more.
We are pleased to introduce the new quarterly newsletter of the Research and Economic Analysis Division (READ) of the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, READ Insights, which will highlight various publications and include a sampling of recent and ongoing reports that have been issued.
