Why Hawaii residents are moving away (Hawaii Together)
State taxes a major driver of the exodus. The host for this episode is Keli’i Akina. The guest for this episode is Dan Mitchell.
Hawaii has experienced several years of negative migration as more and more residents leave for the mainland. Polls indicate that residents usually leave due to the high cost of living and better opportunities elsewhere. National economist Dan Mitchell and Keli’i Akina discuss why state fiscal policies have been the catalyst for Hawaii’s population loss, and why national trends indicate that “voting with your feet” says a lot about state taxes.
