Hawaii Has 6th Lowest Unemployement In The Nation

From the Honolulu Advertiser:

Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate edged up to 3.2 percent in February, a 0.1 percentage point increase over January, the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations reported today.

That compared with the national unemployment rate, which fell 0.1 percentage point to 4.8 percent in February. Hawaii ties New Mexico with the 6th lowest unemployment rate in the country.

Hawaii’s February unemployment rate was up from 2.4 percent the same month a year earlier.

Still healthy numbers.
