Hawaii probably also leads the nation in people having more than one 'less than 20 hour' jobs. I think that is the breakpoint over which employers must pay for health care.

Oh yes.

That is absolutely so.

Plus mom, dad, and the 17 year old kid all work too to make ends meet.

The type of work though matters as well.

People who are hooting and hollering about 'the rate'...thats only a general indicator, expecially in hawaii.

19 hours a week at Subway sandwich and 19 hours bagging groceries...

Thats about how it works.

Those jobs are easy and leave for lots of beach time. If the boss becomes a scrooge, then see ya later.

My understanding is the mortgage business has been doing quite well though...

Another example of where Socialism is worse than Capitalism.

Our health care insurance company says you have to work 30 or more hours to be eligible for health care.

Fewer jobs, but more full time employees
