Hilo Haole and others,
This discussion is interesting, and from my view point for matters of discussion and validity, what I am interested in is from having answers from those whom have lived there for some years and also have enough adult years on the mainland and the islands to give a balanced comparison and summary or interpretation. Meaning that they have hired enough service jobs to their home or business to know and worked enough there to have experience with both the mainland and the islands to give a good comparison and in hiring and service related experience or have been in charge of employees on both.
Is this related to what I saw written here about the perceived work ethic of some 'locals' and their willingness to work, go find and get work?
Does this relate to the employers not wanting a newcomer vs. local, that by chance may leave and have to spend the time, money and resources to retrain or another who might be more stable and not leave the job? How do qualifications fit into that?
Where does the amount of qualifications of quality trained folks come into the hiring weight or scheme of employers on the islands vs mainland?
Aloha,
Lucy
