How Hawaii compares
- Against the rest of the country. $46,760 in Hawaii against $46,170 nationally for the same occupation, which puts Hawaii 21st of the 48 jurisdictions that released an estimate. Neither figure is adjusted for cost of living, so a higher median does not by itself mean more money left over.
- Against other work in Hawaii. $46,760 against $56,320, the median across every occupation in the state — 17% below it.
- How much of this work is here. The occupation is less concentrated here than nationally (0.68× the national share of employment), 35th of 48 for concentration. Concentration describes where the work is, not how easy it is to be hired.

Hawaii licensing is not in these figures.
Many occupations, including most of health care, teaching, law, accountancy and the skilled trades, require a state licence, certification or registration before you can work. Hawaii sets its own, and none of it is part of the federal dataset above, so CampusPin cannot tell you whether this occupation is licensed here. Check the Hawaii licensing board before committing to a route, because where an occupation is licensed that requirement, not the typical credential, is the real gate.
Colleges in Hawaii
Pay is one half of the decision. What it costs to get qualified is the other, and it is the half that varies most between two colleges in the same state.
Source & methodology
State wage and employment figures are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025 release. National median pay, projections and typical entry education are from the BLS Employment Projections programme (2024 wages). Both are public domain; credit BLS.
Wages are May 2025 estimates from the federal Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey, which asks employers what they pay everyone currently working in the occupation — experienced and new alike. They are not starting salaries, not the earnings of recent graduates, and not adjusted for cost of living, which matters when comparing one state against another. Self-employed workers are not surveyed.
