America's 50th state is now 50th in more ways than one. Hawaii finishes dead last in America's Top States for Business 2013, down from 49th in 2012.
How badly did the Aloha State do in this year's study? It is hard to find a category where the state does not finish at or near the bottom.
OK, there is one: Hawaii comes in 1st for Quality of Life.
To be fair, Hawaii faces some issues beyond its control. Sitting in the middle of the Pacific, Hawaii will never truly be able to compete with its mainland rivals on cost—not when half a gallon of organic whole milk was recently advertised at a supermarket in Maui for $5.99…on sale! On the same day, it was going for $3.99 in suburban New York.
