Most peoples perspective of Hawaii in general is usually wrong. People see TV shows and movies or come here on vacation and only see the tourist areas. But day to day life here is the same as the mainland, people go to work, take their kids to school, go shopping, etc. Due to the extra cost of living here though you see a generation or two living in the same property. Entertainment costs are less as a large percentage surf, hang at the beach, or fish. Then utilities are generally less due to the moderate weather. Most people don't realize that the highest grossing chain retail/restaurant locations are here in Honolulu. Victorias Secret, Bath & Body, Home Depot, Costco, Walmart, Cheesecake Factory are some of the many #1 locations for their chain.

Military employment is high here, myself, I'm in Commercial Construction.
