native Hawaiian parents.

Employment

In 1970, 4.3 percent of native
Hawaiian men and 5.2 percent of native
Hawaiian women were unemployed,
compared to State figures of 2.6 percent
and 3.7 percent, respectively.
Of all native Hawaiian males over the
age of 16, 76.4 percent were in the
labor force in 1970, compared with the
total State figure of 81.5 percent.
Also in 1970, 47.9 percent of native
Hawaiian women over the age of 16 were
in the labor force, compared with 49
percent for the State as a whole.

A 1975 Census Update Survey
estimated that the unemployment rate
for native Hawaiians was 11.6 percent,
compared to 6.5 percent for the State
of Hawaii as a whole. The present
rate is probably even higher. Other
data for 1975 show that only 17.8 percent
of native Hawaiian men have
professional/managerial positions,
while 53.6 percent are classified as
blue collar workers.

Income

In 1949, the proportion of native
Hawaiian males in the lowest income
brackets was above that for all other
groups. Their median income for the
same year was higher than the "all
races" and Filipino groups but below
that of the Chinese, Caucasian, and
Japanese groups. By 1969, the situation
of the native Hawaiians had
improved somewhat. According to
the U.S. Census, they were no longer
over-represented in the lowest income
categories.

According to the 1975 Census Update
Survey, however, native Hawaiian
personal income was still below the
Caucasian and State-wide figures.
Other data for 1977 show that the
(civilian) median family income of
pure Hawaiians was lower than the
part-Hawaiian, Filipino, Caucasian,
Japanese, and Chinese groups. The
part-Hawaiian group was third lowest
(Filipinos were second).
In 1975, over one-fourth (27 percent)
of native Hawaiians were
classified as below the poverty
level . In 1982, the number of
native Hawaiians on welfare (Aid to
Families with Dependent Children)
and general assistance) was
significantly higher than their
relative share of the population.

Criminal Justice

The percent of native Hawaiian
adults arrested in Hawaii in 1981
was higher than the native Hawaiian
percentage share of the
population. The percentage of
native Hawaiians arrested for
specific crimes was also larger for
many types of crime than their share
of the population.

The picture for native Hawaiian
juveniles arrested is even more
striking. Native Hawaiian juveniles
comprised the largest percent of
those arrested for each crime
examined.

Health

Infant mortality remains significantly higher for native Hawaiians
compared to the other groups in
Hawaii. Part-Hawaiians have a birth
r a t e of 23.1, compared to 17.5 for
full-Hawaiians and 19.5 for the
S t a t e . Part-Hawaiians and full-,
Hawaiians also have a significantly
higher rate of illegitimate births
than the other ethnic groups.

Native Hawaiians have historically
had a lower life expectancy than
other groups in Hawaii. This trend
continues—in 1970, the native
Hawaiian life expectancy was 67.62
years, compared with an average for
the State of 74.20 years.
