Hawaii: Great Depression-Level Unemployment as Tourism Plummets
June 13th, 2020Via: ABC:
Roughly 25% of the jobs in Hawaii are connected to tourism, which has almost entirely vanished, according to Bonham.
“Because we rely completely on air travel, when you shut down tourism with a 14-day quarantine and you go from 30,000 airline passengers per day to a few hundred, that’s a very different situation from a place that may still be getting some visitors by car,” he said.
