Hawaii has gone through several different incarnations and today it is Tourism that is the driving force of the economy.

Following tourism is support to the military- US Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force.

Agriculture plays a role in the economy of Hawai'i, but not to the extent that sugar and pineapple have in the past. Crops now include Macadamia nuts, coffee, as well as tropical fruits (Guava, papaya, bananas etc) fishing and cattle ranching. Unfortunately, marijuana has been substantial crop in past years.

Hawai'i has some smaller manufacturing firms, as well as substantial construction and mining of rock for aggregate (gravel) and decorative lava rock.
