Even as the state’s unemployment rate improves, many in Hawaii, including new college graduates, find the job market bleak. While unemployment reached its peak at 7 percent from June 2009 to September 2009 — Hawaii’s highest since 1978 — it has steadily decreased to 6.3 percent, according to the latest seasonally-adjusted data from June. Five years ago, in July 2005, unemployment in the state was a mere 2.7 percent.
