> Hawaii's High-Tech industry collapses.

That would require that we actually have a functioning high-tech industry to begin with.

>if a company can choose which state to operate in, Hawaii is going to lose out to all the others that allow unfair (IMO) employer protections.

If a company is based in Hawai‘i, the only reason is that they don't have any other choice to begin with. We have terribly high costs of living and a crazy low talent pool. Vast majority of development work here is DoD related and for on-site contracts.




Yeah I thought most tech jobs in Hawaii were contracting gigs for the Navy.
