How pay is spread in Hawaii

By median pay, Hawaii is number 15 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $34,170 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $123,660. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $40,370 to $81,510. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $70,270, 25% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 627,530 jobs counted here are 0.4% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Hawaii are Food Preparation and Serving Related (82,340 jobs, 14%), Office and Administrative Support (74,670 jobs, 12%), Sales and Related (50,950 jobs, 8%) and Transportation and Material Moving (46,190 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Baggage Porters and Bellhops (11.9 times the national share), Tour and Travel Guides (6.3 times the national share) and Nursing Instructors and Teachers, Postsecondary (6.0 times the national share). The table on this page lists 552 occupations; for 15 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 137 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 92 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 34 pay less and 11 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Bartenders ($76,490 here, $34,340 nationally), Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators ($115,860 here, $59,850 nationally) and Waiters and Waitresses ($62,390 here, $35,230 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists ($59,390 here, $78,760 nationally), Office and Administrative Support Workers, All Other ($34,500 here, $45,670 nationally) and Project Management Specialists ($78,000 here, $102,320 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
