Hawaii relies on a vibrant tourism culture for economic growth, and 110,300 local workers are employed in the leisure and hospitality industry across the state. From tour guides and tour equipment operators to hotel workers and management, a variety of careers are built on the millions of vacationers who visit the islands every year.

In addition to tourism, Hawaii's top employers are in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry.
