What Are The Challenges Of Doing Business In Hawaii

In my opinion, reading 1 (Hawaii: The Land of Many) is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii in the 1800s. I would suggest using reading 1 because it talks about the entire history, as opposed to reading 2 which talks about the shutting down of the plantations today. This reading teaches the reader about the sugar plantations and the life of the laborers that worked on these sugar plantations. Reading 1 states that the sugar industry boomed in the 1800s which caused the need of plantation workers. They had recruits different countries that lived on the plantation. Laborers had to sign a contract saying they would work for a certain amount of time. Plantation supervisors whipped those

Moving to Hawaii is a dream come true for many people. With sandy beaches as far as you can see and diverse, exciting culture and foods to explore, the Hawaiian Islands provide spectacular views and fun things to do for everyone. The actual moving process requires a lot more planning than moving to a new state in the continental United States though. The residential moving experts at S & S Delivery Inc, located in Honolulu, HI, answer some frequently asked questions about moving to Hawaii.

Many companies and businesses have already left California to escape high corporate income taxes. They've relocated to states without income tax, where they can save up to 13% more of their income. The seven U.S. states with no income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming) have become a beacon for growth. They're outperforming California in job creation as

Arizona became the 48th state February 14, 1912. This state is very populated. It has over 5 million people. Arizona has something that is known as the four corners. One person can be in four states at one time. You can stand in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. Arizona leads the nation in copper production. The amount of copper on the roof of the capitol building is equivalent to 4,800,000 pennies. In 1953 after the copper mines closed there was as few as 50 people in Arizona.

Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean; it is one of the many islands in Polynesia. It is composed of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, the island of Hawaii being the largest island of the eight (see attached map). According to the census bureau, as of 2014, Hawaii ‘s population is approximately 1,419,561 with Native Hawaiians forming only 10% of the population; in order to be considered a Native Hawaiian you must have one native great-grandparent (2014 United States Census Bureau). Hawaii’s official languages are English and Hawaiian. Hawaii was first occupied by people coming from the Marquesas Islands approximately 1500 years ago followed by people from Tahiti. In 1778 Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii finding approximately 300,00 Hawaiians there. In the 1850’s Hawaiians worked in sugar cane plantations. In 1983 Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and in 1900 Hawaii became a United States Territory. Fifty-nine years later, in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. Tourism plays a huge role in Hawaii’s culture; it is a big part of its economy and social life. This paper will be discussing Hawaii’s tourism and it’s effects.

Land in Hawaii cost five times more than it does for the rest of the nation. Rent- ing in Hawaii isn’t cheap either. Rent in Hawaii is two-hundred percent higher than it is for the rest of the nation. Not only is rent expensive, finding a house to own is also dif- ficult because forty-two percent of the houses in Hawaii are being rented out, the fourth highest in America. Hawaii having the highest cost of living in the states along with the most expensive rent in the nation is a recipe for disaster, especially when you consider the fact that Hawaii has the ninth highest poverty rate and in the United States. Hawaii has been considered, “the worst state to make a living” and it’s no surprise when pre- sented with the numbers. All of this adds up to Hawaii being the state with the highest homeless rate. Homeless flock to Hawaii for the friendly year long weather and accom-

For this major report, I wanted to explore more in death about Hawaii’s high cost of living. The reason why I wanted to explore this topic more into detail is because I’ve living in Hawaii my whole life, but never really understood why our cost of living is so high. Also, I wanted to learn more about this topic because it is very important to understand the different factors that causes the high cost of living. By understanding the different factors that causes Hawaii’s high cost of living, it could possibly help us in the future to help find solutions to this growing problem or even help you reduce some of these costs.

Did you ever wonder how life was like for immigrant workers on the sugar pla in the 1800s to know if it was easy or not. With this information, it would be obvious that immigrant workers did not have it easy for them. This because immigrant workers changed the face of the islands when they made Hawaii there permanent home. This is because it changed the population of Hawaii because it had many new races that helped lead to the annexation of the United States. Three reasons workers didn’t have an easy life is because they had bad living situations, working situations, and labor

tax is not among the highest. According to Singer's (Aug 24, 2017), the Connecticut 6.35 percent sales tax ranks thirty-two in the US. It is higher than certain state such as Massachusetts, and lower than others, such as Rode Island and New York. As Connecticut tries to grow its economy and fix it budget crisis with higher sales tax, will create a financial problem for the lower and middle classes. "Based on estimate produced by ITEP data, low income families spend seventy five percent of their income on items subjected to sales tax, higher than fifty percent spent by middle-income families and seventeen percent spent by the richest families”(ITEP). Considering this, the tax do not affect upper income families,but low and mid-income people who cannot afford the tax . Comparing gas tax to other states shows that, Connecticut’s gas tax is not among the highest. According to the graph provided by the ITEPS research report (July 2017), Connecticut’s four percent gas tax is higher than certain states such as Kentucky, South Dakota, and Michigan, but lower than other states such as Alaska, Louisiana and New Mexico.

“Most cities our size have a 2% sales tax, if we raised it to 2% then it would put us even with all the other cities in the area,” said Million. “Individually I don’t think that would have a great impact on the individual citizens.”

Using the Internet or Strayer Library, research at least two (2) countries that have a zero income tax rate.

The problem with this formula is not all of these components contribute equally. So let’s take a look at each of these components and what economic impacts have on that mentioned gallon of gas .Crude oil is 69% of the cost and those cost exist of finding it, getting it out of the ground, and transporting it to the refinery. Refining the crude oil cost another 6%. Selling the gasoline is 10%

American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall "cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani-Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order to persuade her readers into believing that tourism can actually be a bad thing for an economy. On the other hand, in his article "Surf's Up for the Economy in Hawaii," Jim

As skiers, hikers, sightseers, beachgoers and travelers pack their bags and head out for their vacations, they probably never even consider that what they are about to embark upon happens to be the largest industry in the world. Millions of people travel domestically and internationally each year to experience places and things that are totally out of their ordinary lifestyle and to get their minds off the hustle bustle of everyday life. Because of Hawaii’s year-round tropical climates, cultural experiences and leisurely atmosphere, it is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations and attracts over 9 million visitors each year. Marine and

The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful. A good vacation is somewhere near a nice beach, where I can have a delicious barbeque while chilling with some music. If there was a break, I would choose to go to Hawaii or somewhere with a breathtaking view so I can take many pictures.
