Hawaii would be a good location for call centers
There was one in East Hawaii. Seemed like a good idea to me too:
A major call center that was hailed as a solution to Hilo's chronic job shortage when it opened in 1999 will shut its doors in May (2004) and lay off all 172 employees.
Pennsylvania-based Penncro Associates Inc., a telemarketing and bill collection company, was enticed to open a Hilo office with state tax incentives and inexpensive office space. The company quickly became the fourth-largest employer in Hilo, making up for some of the sugar industry jobs lost in the 1990s.
The closure is "a result of unforeseen business circumstances due to the loss of client business at this site," Penncro said in a notice to the state Labor Department.
