A coordinated approach to attain full employment in Hawaii remains a priority need in governmental policy. Manpower problems which began to mount after 1970 were compounded by fuel and material shortages in 1974. The report urges that adequate policies now be formulated to meet the problems. It recommends the adoption of a State policy which determines an optimum population and an optimum growth rate, the coordination of long-range planning for the State with participation of the public and private sector and a comprehensive approach to the use of Federal and State manpower funds to attach immediate unemployment problems. The statewide and county employment picture is discussed in detail, followed by an analysis of the situation by industry, focusing on the areas of construction, agriculture, tourism, and government. Manpower programs, funding, and recommendations are dealt with fully. An 18-page appendix offers statistical sources, program summaries, recommendations, and a review of major activities. (MW)
