Hawaii’s population continues to decrease and get older on average, according to federal data released over the past two weeks.
The state’s population fell by more than 10,000 in the year ending July 1, continuing a trend since 2017, said state economist Eugene Tian, citing population estimates released Thursday.
At the same time, Hawaii’s elderly community is growing, and slightly more are living in poverty, even as poverty fell for Hawaii residents overall, according to American Community Survey data collected between 2016 and 2020 and published this month
Wonder what the national trends are? Hmm, no wonder it's hard to find working folks anymore. They've all gone off to the mainland? Or they just weren't born?

Who knows how things look like nowadays when you don't have data from the pandemic.

Anecdotally, I have met a quite a number of people that have moved here largely due to the pandemic, because their jobs have now gone fully remote. I have not heard of anyone leave the state because of something pandemic related.

I've chatted up several casino workers/dealers-bartenders-waitstaff who have moved to Vegas the past couple of years - I don't grill them on why, but always assume it is cost of living.....

That seems a pretty good trade-off remote tech, finance workers for casino workers/bartenders/waitstaff.

Those tech workers will either - get the same Hawaii burnout most mainlanders get - can't deal with the time change long term - or find they need to get back to the office at some point.
We already know from State of Hawaii statistics though - not that many mainlanders made the move to Hawaii during the pandemic.
It's the High cost of living. to cause younger people to leave the islands, to find a livable Wage in another state. Although California has a pretty high cost of living also.
