According to a report released by the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization, the tourism industry has provided a huge increase of jobs in the past two years. In May 2010, approximately 89,000 people were employed by the accommodations and food sectors of the state. However, by June 2012, that number has risen to 96,000 people. The report predicts that this number will continue to increase as the state’s visitor industry is expected to break records in terms of visitor arrivals and spending by the end of 2012.
