Episode Details

Three years after the Maui wildfires, housing is showing signs of recovery—but jobs and income lag far behind.

Full-time employment hasn’t rebounded, with even younger workers exiting the workforce. Financially, poverty has dipped slightly, but most families still live below their former standard. The real worry? Without job growth, the island’s economic healing remains incomplete—resilience is holding, but survival isn’t enough.
