I'd love to hear from some of the remote workers on how their Hawaii experience is going.Oregon confirms state income tax rules for wages paid to remote workers Lord knows the push for innovation is not being generated from within.Īnd while we're on the subject: the antiquated state of our computer systems for state and local government is ripe for overhaul by people who might have some new and better ideas of how to do it.

One of the other comments mentions financial services and there are a number of other areas where the time difference could be a blessing. The other part of me hopes they will be young, enthusiastic, digitally and technically akamai and they will start or foster small ventures that will fit in well here and scale up with time. Part of me agrees with the other comments saying that they won't stick around very long, wont be prepared for how culturally different Hawaii is from the Mainland and that the sticker shock from what things cost here will soon drive them all away. I have mixed feelings about these new "remote" workers.
