Where The Supply Chain Jobs Are In Hawaii
Hawaii’s largest by headcount: cargo and freight agents (1,760), then buyers and purchasing agents (1,720) and production, planning, and expediting clerks (1,040). Hawaii holds 0.4% of U.S. jobs in the managers’ occupation, and Hawaii logisticians are 0.2% of the U.S. total.
The managers’ occupation has 1.329 jobs per 1,000 in Hawaii (location quotient 0.93), ranking Hawaii 21st of 50 and below the national share. In Hawaii, logisticians hold 0.913 jobs per 1,000 (0.57 quotient, 41st).
Compliance officers and operations research analysts are left out of this count: both occupations reach well beyond supply chain work. “The managers’ occupation” is transportation, storage and distribution managers. A location quotient of 1.0 means the occupation’s share of jobs matches the national share.

Hawaii Freight And The Supply Chain Economy
Counting shipments that start, end or stay in Hawaii, the Freight Analysis Framework estimates 38.3 million tons of freight worth $68.8 billion moved in 2024. That ranks Hawaii 50th of 51 by value, and 91.1% of its tonnage never leaves the state.
By value, gasoline and pharmaceuticals lead Hawaii’s freight. By weight, Hawaii moves mostly gasoline and mineral products. In Hawaii, trucks carry 68% of the tons, pipelines 15.3% and multiple modes and mail 10.2%.
Hawaii’s largest domestic trading partner is California ($13.5 billion, both directions), then Massachusetts and Texas. Hawaii exported $619 million of freight, mostly to Eastern Asia, and imported $2.4 billion, mostly from Eastern Asia. The framework forecasts Hawaii’s tonnage to grow 57.4% by 2050 and its real value 214.5%.
| Commodity | Value, 2024 | Share Of Value |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoline By value, first in Hawaii | $8.4 billion | 12.2% |

| Motor vehicles By value, fifth in Hawaii | $4.8 billion | 6.9% |
Freight Analysis Framework 5.7.1 (BTS and FHWA): 2024 estimates in current dollars; the 2050 value forecast is in constant 2017 dollars. Trading-partner values combine freight in both directions.
