US News & World Report just released a recent study of national job markets. While Hawaii has certainly been affected by the economic downturn, our unemployment rate is lower than that of many states, and now we learn that Honolulu is one of the Top Cities for New Jobs.
As reported by Realtor.org, "The underlying strengths of the top cities vary considerably. Some of the stronger cities are state capitals and have lots of government jobs. Others have abundant natural resources, stable housing markets, growing health care sectors, or are in close proximity to military bases.
"But overall, what separates these communities from those that have been hit harder is a steady economy that protected them from steep unemployment."
Listed in alpha order, Honolulu ranked 4th. I rank it first, because of our Aloha Spirit. Here are the others:
Anchorage, AK - Arlington, VA - Columbus, OH - Houston, TX - Oklahoma City, OK - Salt Lake City, UT - Shreveport, LA - Tallahassee, FL - Wichita, KS
Hawaii Kai is a short commute from downtown Honolulu and, of course, not all jobs are in Honolulu. Hawaii Kai has one of the most stable real estate markets on the island.
