Chuck Lerch: In Hawaii, Hi Tech Hui’s Customers Are Ohana

When you think of Hawaii… what do you think of?

Do you automatically go to white sands, volcanoes and surfing?

Or do you think of a $3,000,000,000 IT industry that includes over 2100 related businesses?

Do you think of the 31,000 people employed in the tech industry with an average industry wage that is 71% higher than the state’s annual private sector wage?

Maybe it is time to reconsider your view of Hawaii…
