Forbes: The Best States for Business and Careers
LINK: 50 State Report
Hawaii Profile
Tourism and the U.S. military are the significant drivers of Hawaii’s $75 billion economy. Hawaii has one of the most onerous business tax situations. Another drawback: the highest cost of living in the U.S. Hawaii’s median home price of $560,000 is $130,000 more than any other state. Tough to beat the weather though.
