Hawaii has 6th worst economy in the Nation

[JerryCarr]

The PBN headline is somewhat misleading. If you go to the original source of the report, http://www.alec.org/ the actual rating is for economic competitiveness and not strength of economy. Those two things are related, but not the same. They rate Vermont, a fairly prosperous state as the worst. Regardless, it isn't good news, and Hawaii continues to have a reputation as a difficult place to do business.

Cheers,
