I currently reside in the Mainland.
Due to circumstances, I may be moving to Hawaii in the near future.
Can I still get a job if I am a senior ( in my late 50s or 60s )?
I am currently working in a financial office, but I am not particular about the type of work I do,
and I am aware that the pay scale in Hawaii is not as high as in the mainland.
I would be happy to hear from anyone who has had similar experiences.

Thank you,
the most recent information on the area is really helpful.
I am also concerned about security in the mainland
due to the Corona disaster and hate crimes against Asians. I know I can never be too careful.
I wonder if I have to take out insurance on my own until I find a job.
If you have any recommendations, I would be happy to hear them.

Unless there are unavoidable circumstances, such as a job transfer, I don't think there is any advantage to moving all the way from the Mainland to Hawaii.

Many people around me
are consulting with Ms. Tomoko Washington, an insurance consultant
who explains the basics of insurance
in detail on KZOO radio and
helps you find the right insurance for your needs.
The consultation is free, so it would be good to consult with her.
She is a very nice person.

Mr. River

There are no hate crimes against Asians in Hawaii.
Rather, whites and blacks are more racially discriminated.
Japanese and people of Japanese descent tend to be treated more favorably in Hawaii.

# As 21 said, what is the reason to move from the mainland to Hawaii ?

Hawaii is also the US, and after Corona, the gap between rich and poor is even more polarized.

After Corona, many remote workers, investors, and millionaires who moved from the mainland US bought a lot of properties in Hawaii, which caused

the property prices to skyrocket. If it's not because of house sales, you can't live in Hawaii renting for long.

Popular rental properties raise their prices every year.

The reason why many grandparents are homeless is because their pensions and rentals are equal or more expensive.

People who have paid off their mortgages by the time they receive their pensions tend to stay in Hawaii, but since nursing homes are 4-5 times more expensive than in Japan,

many people return to Japan after their retirement.

Those who do not are assisted by their daughters and sons.
Those who do not are assisted by their daughters or sons, or by the government as lowincome.
River, if you are alone and light, you may want to try living there for a year to experience it for yourself.

You can see why so many people move to the mainland or Japan.

Thank you for the insurance information !
and your honest opinion is very useful.
It is true that Hawaii has a lot of Asians and it is mentally relaxing.
However, I don't think I will be able to live an easy life,
so I may have to consider other options
if things get really tough financially...
( Returning to Japan completely is difficult for me right now due to various reasons. )
I would appreciate any further information you can give me.
