The Mainland Exodus

The State of Hawaii used to make it a requirement that you be a resident of Hawaii to be eligible for a State job. Now that anyone can apply, many State jobs have been given to Out of State residents, thus taking away jobs from local residents. Many of them end up on the beach.

Huh!?!%#@ State jobs given out of state folks? Wow, that news to me. Can you give me an example please "D". I was always under the impression that state jobs were like 'City & County',jobs! Meaning that nepotism was the rule of thumb probably more than we want to believe. The whole work system for 'State' & 'City & County' needs to be worked over. A lot of people in Honolulu who work for the City & County of HAwaii when asked where they work commonly say, " I work for "Sitting & Counting". You only have to use a bit of you imagination to figure this one out! Most of these workers are there for only a hand out.
My cousin use to work for the state. His job was clearing trails along state parks for hikers along some of the steep ridges on Oahu. Some of his co-workers use to give him a hard time....for working...go figure. They said he made them look bad. My cousin figures the quickest way home from an 8 hour work day, is to work the complete eight hours! But his co-workers feel that hiding somewhere & sleeping 6 hours is the fastest way to get home. But this seems to be the overall general attitude towards state jobs ,and city & county jobs. Which really causes a cluster-F**k So these type workers who really play a part in displacing local residents too.
