12Q2 County Forecast thumbnail

The recovery of Hawaii’s county economies continues to be fueled by the visitor industry, especially by arrivals from non-traditional markets. Job growth turned positive in three of the four counties last year, but the extent of labor market gains was disappointing. The upturn will pick up speed in 2012.
