Discover the defining qualities of "Good Jobs in Hawai'i'' in an engaging session that examines the topic through a dual lens. First, we will share the voices and experiences of communities across the state, exploring how their insights shape our understanding of job quality. We will then examine the publicly available data that supports these community narratives, providing a comprehensive view of what makes a job "good" and its impact on both job-seekers and employers.
Understanding these distinctions through publicly available data can enhance our knowledge of the labor market, highlight equity of access to quality employment, and serve as a foundation for partnerships aimed at developing meaningful and sustainable employment across the state. Join us to gain a deeper insight into what creates equitable access to good jobs for all Hawai'i residents, and learn how these factors contribute to a thriving local economy. This interactive session promises to provide valuable perspectives on aligning job quality with the needs and aspirations of Hawai'i’s workforce.
