According to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal incomes in the state of Hawaii increased by an average of 4.5 percent in 2011 as compared to 2010. This equated $43,053 per capita in 2011 as compared to $41,550 the year prior. While Hawaii officials are quick to praise the increase, it should be noted that nationally personal incomes increased by 5.1 percent in 2011. North Dekota showed the highest growth at 8.1 percent, and Maine the smallest at 3.4 percent.
