The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist...

Hawaii unemployment worst in 30


Preliminary figures released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show Hawaii's seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is the worst it has been in 30 years.
The bureau says unemployment in the islands stood at 6.5 percent in February - up from 6.1 percent in January.
According to historical data compiled by the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, February's rate was the highest since 6.6 percent was recorded in October 1978.
Federal officials say 607,400 people held jobs in Hawaii in February. That's down 3,700 from January and 19,200 from February of last year.
They say the national rate of unemployment in February was 8.1 percent.
