Maka'ainana (2005)

Hawaiians had a rigid class system, that succinctly seperated the royalty, warrior, religious, and guild members from the commoners who fished and grew crops. Since the 1920's, tourism has been heavily promoted as a economic vehicle to aid employment. Tourism surpassed agriculture in the last three decades as the major employer on the islands. Quality of employment opportunities remains an issue, as many natives must work three jobs to address the expense of living.
