What’s HIWI?

HIWI is the HAWAII WORKFORCE INFONET and it is the place to get the most up-to-date employment, wage, job, and training information available related to Hawaii so you can make the smartest decisions. It’s information you can use, right now, today to help you decide what to do next. Thinking about a career change? See where the jobs are going to be in the future in the Outlook for Industries and Occupations up to 2018.

Wondering what a competitive salary is for the new employee you are thinking about hiring? Check out the average wage rates in Hawaii.

This data comes from the Research and Statistics Office of Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR). The Occupational Employment Surveys are federally funded by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and carried out by the state workforce agencies, in Hawaii, DLIR Research and Statistics. HIWI publishes the data in a handy retrievable form.

At http://www.hiwi.org/ it’s all about providing tools for employers and job seekers to make informed decisions. Not the kind of tools you need a tool belt for, but the kind of tools your mind needs to decide what next steps to make for a better future, for your better future.
