An array of facts and figures ranging from the median age of Hawai'i's population to the number of cellular telephone subscribers in the state are available in the newly released 37th State of Hawai'i Data Book published by the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.

Available only on the Internet, the book is considered the most comprehensive source of statistics on the social, economic, government and business activity for Hawai'i. The new edition can be found on the DBEDT Web site.

"The State Data Book is an essential resource for businesses and government in identifying trends, conducting research and identifying markets," said DBEDT Director Ted Liu.



State AG's office posts charity verification information online

The State Attorney General's Office is posting information on its Web site that will help Hawai'i charities and their donors to make better informed decisions when fundraising or giving.

The office is publishing a list of registered and bonded professional solicitors who solicit Hawai'i donors on behalf of charitable organizations, or fundraising counsels who assist with fundraising campaigns. The list is available at www.hawaii.gov/ag/charity_resources.htm.

"We are pleased that for the first time, Hawai'i's charities have a very simple and efficient way to determine whether their fundraising consultants and solicitors are registered and bonded as required by Hawai'i law," said Attorney General Mark Bennett.
