Our ROI is not as good as Canada but our unemployment rate is below 6%.  We wish you well in all your business endeavors for the rest of 2012.

Li -Thanks for your comment! I remember moving all over Canada in the eighties for my parents work. I went to 6 highschools! Yes now it is Alberta's time to shine (again)

Bruce- Thanks for your comment! I've heard about Hawaii's economy and it's good standing. Amazing is it related to tourism?
