County not up to date?

Susan, There is a misunderstanding here. The 2004 Data Book you purchased from the Hawaii County Mayor's office is produced by the County's Department of Research and Development. We are the state agency - State Department of Business, Economic Development of Tourism. We produce the State of Hawaii Data Book. The two data books are different and produced by different agencies. I have no idear why the County Data Book was not updated, I would recommend you to contact the County's Department of Research and Development to find out. Our Data Book (the State Data Book) has updates on the information you requested. The latest version of our Data Book is the 2004 State of Hawaii Data Book. Because of budget shortage, we no longer print hard copies of our Data Book since 2001, but publish them on our website and produce CD's for public to use (can be purchased at $15 a CD). I am attaching the two tables you are requesting in this email. Please note that these tables are from our Data Book (STATE) so that the table numbers are different from what you have. Our Data Book tables can be downloaded (free of charge) from DBEDT website at http://www3.hawaii.gov/dbedt/index.cfm?section=statistics_and_economic_information516 Please let me know if you have further questions.
