Aloha
Nice Hub! Very good information. Thanks
Aloha! Thanks for the information. My husband and I are planning a move to Oahu in the next year. He runs an Outsourced IT company in Ohio and will be closing up shop to move. This will be a big help to us as we get closer!
Brilliant Hub -
I have a dream of moving to Hawaii, and this page helps a lot to make my dream come true. Thanks!
Great hub! Great information on the job situation in Hawaii. I like hubs about Hawaii. I hope to go there someday. Very good photo! Keep up the good work.- Carol
I lived on Oahu, in Kailua for 14yrs. Five years ago we moved to the Mainland and I feel it was the biggest mistake I am homesick every day for Hawaii. This site will be saved in my favories, you have given me hope that I will make it back home where my 5yr old daughter was born, she may not remember Hawaii but she see's pictures and knows that is her home. Thank you and Aloha Heather I love you HAWAII!!
i'm just sayibg hawaii is awesome and beautiful
I definitely agree with the boom in home/personal health care professionals here in Hawaii. Enrollment in the nursing program has greatly increased within the last few years. Yet the job market varies from island to island. Although I'm sure Oahu has many job openings, the job market here on the Big Island has been pretty slim lately :(
Aaaaaallllllllooooooooohhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa:):):):):)
(been twice, second time on honeymoon., been to 4 islands so far keen to do another island in 2012. keen for some more ALOHA time. Praying for my lovely wife to be keen to move to Wakkikikikikikiki so I can teach Surfing and SUP ing.
Great job, Patty! Loved your hub. Being from Hawaii myself, it's not to see this type of important information. You can be sure I'll refer to your article should anyone who is interested in moving to Hawaii has questions about employers and job trends.

Very informative. Your article ignited my desire to visit this place together with my family as soon as we can save enough for this. When? only God Knows... I'll tell you the moment this dream would come true.
