A new University of Hawai‘i economic forecast predicts a difficult next few years as recession looms.

Carl Bonham, executive director of the University of Hawai‘i Economic Research Organization, described a newly released third-quarter economic forecast as “bleak,” with multiple national and global factors driving down the state’s prospects.

[{"type":"text","text":"“The risks seem stacked against us,” Bonham said."}]

The forecast, released Friday, predicts a “mild recession” in the state over the next year as tourism falters: “not too deep or not too long,” Bonham said, with the worst impacts expected toward the end of 2026 before a gradual recovery over the following years.

Bonham said the state has been relying on domestic tourism, with international tourism still having not quite recovered from the impacts of Covid-19 and the Lahaina fires. But as the U.S. economy weakens, Mainland tourism has seen a sharp downturn. By mid-2026, UHERO predicts 5% fewer tourist arrivals than at the end of 2024, with quarterly tourist spending expected to fall by more than $600 million.

At the same time, tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump’s administration have left businesses feeling “overwhelming uncertainty,” Bonham said. He said some businesses are unable to get any quotes for materials more than three months out because nobody can predict how much more anything will cost that far away.

UHERO predicts that, by the end of 2026, “tariffs will have raised Hawai‘i prices by about 1.5% over what they would otherwise have been. This will represent a permanent annual cost of perhaps $1,400 for a median-income household.”

Compounding the issue is the loss of unauthorized immigrant labor, which will continue to increase the price of produce. Between the impact of immigration crackdowns and impacts of tariffs, UHERO forecasts an inflation peak of about 4% at the end of 2026 — which, UHERO notes, is a lower peak than previous predictions, thanks to recent reductions to inflation. 

[{"type":"text","text":"But UHERO predicts broader losses across the entire labor market. "}]

"Job losses will be seen across virtually all local industries," the forecast warns, expecting about 2,400 job losses among federal workers alone. As cuts to federal contracts compound and the tourism industry shrinks, knock-on impacts will spread across the state's private sector.

Hawai‘i employment is still about 15,000 jobs below pre-pandemic levels, and Bonham said that this year’s estimated job growth is predicted to stand at about 0.7%.

“The number of jobs in Hawai‘i basically hasn’t changed since January,” Bonham said.

Bonham said it isn’t only bad new across the board. The construction industry, he said, is expected to be the only sector in the state to grow during the recession, with the redevelopment of Aloha Stadium, the construction of the last leg of Skyline, and other military construction projects expected to bring nearly 40,000 jobs over the next five years.

Even so, the jobs gained by construction will hardly offset the total job losses predicted statewide. By the end of 2026, the UHERO report predicts about 1,000 additional construction jobs compared to this year — and more than 5,000 jobs lost in other sectors, primarily in government positions.

Through all of this, Bonham said there are some potential off-ramps. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the Trump administration tariffs are legal in November. Depending on that verdict, he said, the worst of the tariffs may not go into effect, staving off the worst impacts of the recession.

But Bonham was not optimistic. Even if the tariffs are partially reversed, there is no guarantee that the Trump administration can’t reintroduce them in different forms — once again leaving businesses uncertain about the future.

“There is a possibility that some of the new threats at the federal level will convince Democrats to come to the table and we avoid a government shutdown,” Bonham said. “I think the biggest off-ramp is … the U.S. economy bouncing back. With all these investments in AI infrastructure … maybe the U.S. economy will surprise everybody.

“What could help is if the very wealthy continue to thrive,” Bonham said. “The top end of the income distribution contributes enormously to visitor spending here.”

A third-quarter forecast released Friday by the 

University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization

 predicts that "a mild Hawai‘i recession [is] imminent."

Amid tariff hikes, inflation and payroll stalls, UHERO highlights the booming construction industry on Oʻahu and Maui as the sole bright spots. For example, "ongoing Skyline work and Aloha Stadium redevelopment will sustain industry employment near 40,000 jobs," UHERO noted, through the end of 2030 with "tariffs on the cost of materials" cited as one possible risk to the sector.

But that’s not the only sector projected to be hard-hit. Health care providers nationwide are reviewing the Fiscal Year 2025 Reconciliation Act, also known as the 

, signed into law by President Trump on July 4.

According to the UHERO report, “The budget reconciliation bill cuts federal Medicaid and American Care Act marketplace funding by an estimated $1.1 trillion and 

 by $187 billion over fiscal years 2025 to 2034. 

“The Congressional Budget Office estimated that OBBBA would lead to 10 million Americans losing health insurance by 2034 and 2.4 million losing SNAP benefits. In Hawai

i, where more than 400,000 residents participate in Medicaid, over 160,000 receive SNAP benefits, and 43,000 households receive both, these changes could impact a large segment of the population, with potential ripple effects across the state’s economy.”

 also projects that 41,000 Hawaiʻi residents will lose Medicaid benefits. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that 22,000 people in households with school-aged children and 8,000 in households with no children could lose SNAP benefits.

Though state tax relief in 2026 will provide some income support to local families, the potential cuts "will be a growing weight" starting January 2027, UHERO warns in the report.

Carl Bonham, UHERO Executive Director, said during a Thursday news conference that the Medicaid cuts could still be avoided. Congressional Democrats are developing a bill that would drop the cuts from the OBBBA before they go into effect at the end of 2026.

But if that doesn't happen, Bonham said, "Hawaiʻi could face a loss of $400 million in Medicaid spending."

Bonham added that small or rural health care providers could be the most at risk from that loss, particularly on Neighbor Islands. UHERO assistant professor Steven Bond-Smith noted that a loss of funding to rural providers on Neighbor Islands could open holes in health care services where people will be forced to travel to Oʻahu for treatment.

“These new requirements for safety net programs are likely to disproportionately affect Hawaiʻi given the state’s large concentration of low-wage, service-sector jobs. Moreover, cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits under the OBBBA could produce economic ripple effects,” UHERO wrote. “Reduced access to Medicaid would lead to poorer health outcomes and increased reliance on emergency care, and strain the finances of health care providers serving newly uninsured patients. The loss of SNAP benefits would also cause households to tighten their belts, reducing demand for groceries and other local goods and services. Nonprofits and government agencies may face new pressures as more residents turn to them for assistance.”

The signs are ubiquitous at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, home of the Air Force Academy's football team. 

Situated 6,621 feet above sea level, signs across the stadium are shown as a form of 

psychological warfare towards opponents. 

"Air Force will let you know at every turn on a wall, they'll let you know how high (the altitude) is and what the cause and effect of the elevation is," said 

, who is making the trip for the first time as Hawai‘i's head coach but was an assistant on a Nevada squad that went and won in 2018. "For us, it's just mental focus, being mentally tough, and going out there for what we need to do."

The Rainbow Warriors were pushed hard with extra running in Wednesday's practice at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex before departing for Colorado on Thursday morning. 

Hawai‘i, which turned the ball over four times in a 

 on Saturday, will emphasize taking care of the ball against an Air Force squad that runs a triple option offense, possessing the ball for 37 minutes and 15 seconds per game, good for third most in the country. 

"Air Force, it's a different style of game," Chang said. "Game management comes into play. And so, understanding what your opponent does, can do, will do, it all comes in (to consideration), and so we got to be better on offense, one, taking care of the football, and two, converting and punching the ball and making sure that we stay on track."

If anyone knows how to have success against Air Force, both as a player and coach, it's Chris Brown. 

Brown, who racked up 19 tackles and a forced fumble in a 52-30 win over Air Force as a UH standout on Nov. 24, 2001, also had a large hand in the defensive gameplanning in Hawai‘i's 27-13 upset victory over Air Force on Nov. 11, 2023. Air Force, which entered the 2023 game as the country's rushing leader, was held to 83.2 yards below their average. Meanwhile, the UH defense forced three interceptions and a fumble. 

Brown, the associate head coach of his alma mater, made sure the Rainbow Warriors know what they're stepping into on Saturday. Hawai‘i has not played at Air Force since Oct. 22, 2016, a 34-27 overtime victory for the 'Bows. 

"We showed them all the pictures of all the different signs, all the altitude and how the altitude can cause you to have a coma or death," Brown said. "And we literally told these players this is just to trick you and to play mind tricks on you. Everything's in your head. 

"We're going to work as hard as we can during the week, and we're going to get a lot of conditioning in, and when it's time to go out there and perform, we're going to perform. At the end of the day, we have to bring our best game, and it's going to be a physical, physical game, and something I love."

Mind over matter has been a key tenet in the Hawai‘i defense under Brown and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman. The Rainbow Warriors held Fresno State to 109 yards of rushing while producing a safety via De'Jon Benton, as well as a 37-yard touchdown return from Jamih Otis. 

"We're gonna have to bring our best game that we possibly can," Brown says of Saturday. "We did a good job on defense (against Fresno State), but like coach Thurman said, it's not good enough. You have to go look at your mistakes and go fix the mistakes, and you cannot be satisfied with a good game. Perfection is what we're striving for. These boys are still hungry to be great."

 — located between Hawaiian Hall and the J. Watumull Planetarium at 

 — has been in its soft opening phase for a few weeks now. Inspired by the culture and traditions passed down by kūpuna (elders), Tūtū’s Place is named in honor of Nancy Toguchi, who co-founded Highway Inn with her husband, Seiichi, according to third-generation Highway Inn owner Monica Toguchi Ryan.

Toguchi Ryan has fond memories of Sunday dinners in Waipahu with her grandpa, but says that her grandma died in 1975, when Toguchi Ryan was only around 3 years old.

“How I’ve gotten to know my grandmother was really through the stories that customers shared with me,” she says. “As we know here in Hawaiʻi, ‘tūtū’ is an endeared term, typically for our grandmothers. In this case, I really wanted to honor my grandmother, Nancy Toguchi, and all of the tūtūs out there, both in Hawaiʻi and across the oceans. They’ve often been the keepers of recipes and cultural preservation.

“When we think about who we ask for a good banana bread recipe or a mango bread recipe, it’s typically our tūtū,” she adds. “For some people, it’s their grandfather. Tūtū’s Place is really named in honor of our grandmothers and grandfathers.”

Highway Inn was established in 1947 and has grown to be a recognized establishment for Hawaiian comfort food. Through Tūtū’s Place, Toguchi Ryan says they hope to share the traditional flavors Highway Inn has been cooking for both local families and visitors alike for more than 75 years.

The menu at Tūtū’s Place reflects Hawaiʻi’s diverse culinary heritage through a variety of permanent dishes and rotating specials. Customers will find signature dishes from Highway Inn, including the business’s famed Hawaiian plate ($16.99), which includes kiawe-wood smoked shredded pork, white rice, ‘uala (sweet potato) and choice of lomi salmon, potato-mac salad or mixed greens with lilikoʻi dressing, plus haupia for dessert.

“Our Hawaiian plate is probably our most popular dish that we serve at Tūtū’s Place,” Toguchi Ryan says.

Meanwhile, the business’s lau lau plate ($21.99) — pork or chicken lau lau with poi or white rice, ‘uala, lomi salmon and haupia — and squid lūʻau ($12.99) are served only on Fridays and Saturdays. Squid lūʻau, which features steamed lūʻau leaves that are cooked in coconut milk with pieces of octopus or squid, is a dish Highway Inn is also well known for, according to Toguchi Ryan.

Other dishes are cafe-exclusives, but feature familiar elements from Highway Inn’s menu. For example, the smoked meat & onions flatbread ($15.99) — complete with onions, bell peppers, green onions and a drizzle of smoked aioli — features the business’s popular smoked meat.

“We do a really fun dish at our restaurant; it’s called the Smoked Moco,” Toguchi Ryan says. “We’ve taken that concept and put it on a flatbread so it’s easy to eat, like a pizza.”

The menu also features plate lunches — Hawaiian-style beef stew plate ($16.99) and miso chicken plate ($16.99) — along with a variety of sourdough melts ($15.99), poke bowls ($15.99 for tofu, market price for ‘ahi), and a variety of local snacks like Portuguese sausage hot dogs ($8.99) and Spam musubi ($2.99).

Tūtū’s Place also features vegetarian-friendly options, including a tofu watercress salad ($16.99), roasted veggie wrap ($15.99), lūʻau veggie flatbread pizza ($15.99) and lūʻau veggie tart ($7.99). The latter features a lūʻau spread topped with roasted zucchini, bell peppers and eggplant on a flaky puff pastry. It’s garnished with green onions and cherry tomatoes.

Keep an eye out for rotating weekly specials. The cafe featured a pork adobo dish last week, according to Toguchi Ryan.

“The goal for Tūtū’s Place is also to honor other types of dishes,” she says. “What we’re looking forward to here is to continue highlighting different ethnic cuisines that a lot of us are familiar with here in Hawaiʻi, but maybe not if you are visiting Hawaiʻi.”

Future specials will likely include popular dishes sold at Highway Inn — including the eatery’s famed hamburger steak — and other okazuya specialties, according to Toguchi Ryan.

“The one thing about Hawaiʻi that’s really unique is many of our grandparents and parents ate very simply,” she says. “That was driven by the economic hardships of the generations that came before us. It’s in that spirit to honor that time period. We grew up eating luncheon meat and Vienna sausage; perhaps some of us don’t eat that as often as we used to. But I think there’s an importance to that, in the sense that it brings back a lot of childhood memories that we may have forgotten.”

Tūtū’s Place also offers espresso drinks featuring locally roasted coffee from Tradition Coffee Roasters, along with freshly baked pastries like banana bread ($2.99), guava or lilikoʻi-mango mousse cake ($4.99) and chocolate chip mac nut cookies (three-pack for $3.99, six-pack for $6.99).

“What we really tried to do at Tūtū’s Place was to honor Highway Inn’s story, but also recognize that there are modern things that we have now available to us that people appreciate,” Toguchi Ryan says. “We have a much wider coffee menu — that’s not something that we do at Highway Inn, but that’s something that people love.”

The cafe’s interior is modeled after a plantation-era home, and is designed to be a comfortable space for families, according to Toguchi Ryan. It features vintage decor items — including a rotary phone and lunch boxes — a communal dining table, and a keiki play corner.

“It probably took me more than a year to collect different antique pieces,” Toguchi Ryan says. “The design really is a reflection of our culture here in Hawaiʻi and many different ethnic groups that have contributed to our understanding of what a tūtū’s house might look like, back in the day.”

Creating a keiki play area was important to Toguchi Ryan, who loves seeing parents interacting with their children.

“If we’re going to say keiki are our future, then it’s the physical spaces — whether it’s public spaces or private spaces — that really demonstrate they are important,” she says. “We have a wonderful keiki space, and I’ve seen parents sitting down, playing with their keiki.”

The cafe’s Wall of Discovery — which pays homage to the building’s history as the museum’s former Hall of Discovery — depicts archival photographs that showcases a timeline of Hawaiʻi’s food history, according to Toguchi Ryan.

“It takes you from pre-contact to European contact to the plantation period to the war, and then from the 1960s to modern-day Hawaiʻi,” she says. “Hopefully, this space will become someplace where you enjoy eating, but you can also learn something about our shared collective Hawaiʻi food story.”

Particularly notable is the cafe’s wallpaper, which is inspired by vintage menu covers, according to Toguchi Ryan.

“DeSoto Brown, the renowned historian here at the Bishop Museum, has an amazing collection of many things — one of them is vintage menu covers,” she says. “DeSoto shared with us many restaurants that were really popular, but no longer exist. We took some of those vintage menu covers and turned it into a customized wallpaper. Hopefully, when people walk in, they’ll remember places like Kapiolani Drive Inn and The Willows.

“There are so many stories that get lost and buried over time,” she adds. “Hopefully this space is a good reminder of where we came from, and to ground us in that story of who we are today.”  

In the future, Tūtū’s Place will host talk-story sessions and special events that celebrate cultural knowledge and food.

Tūtū’s Place is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Museum admission is not required to dine at Tūtū’s Place. The cafe provides two-hour validated parking for restaurant patrons ($10 minimum purchase required).

Open 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Mondays-Sundays (closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day)

Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra is collaborating with the University of Hawaiʻi to present “Symphony of Hawaiʻi Seas” a free concert open to the public that features moʻolelo, music and animations themed around the ocean. The concert is a collaboration between HSO and the University of Hawaiʻi’s Sea Grant College Program as well as its Department of Music.

The one-hour concert features ocean animations, symphonic music and hula. The free evening performance is open to the public and will start at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the 

. In addition to the evening performance, students in fourth grade through high school will also get a chance to see performances during the school day. Those concerts are also free.

The concert features HSO performing ocean-themed original music from local composers 

, Herb Mahelona, Takuma Itoh, Logyn Okuda and Justin Park. This music is paired with animations by Kari Noe, Janae Taclas, Dillon Valenzuela, Jewel Racasa, Sam St. John, Edward Ayano, Napua Rice, Huy Nguyen and Kieren McKee. There will also be a song composed by Rosie Alegado and Aimee Sato with a hula performance created under the direction of Kumu Hula Kekuhi Kealiʻikanakaʻoleohaililani and Taupōuri Tangarō.

“The ʻSymphony of the Hawai‘i Seas’ exemplifies the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra’s commitment to serving our community through innovative, culturally resonant programming,” said Amy Iwano, the president and chief executive officer of HSO. “We’re using music along with other arts to tell stories that deepen our connection to the ocean and inspire collective stewardship of Hawai'i's natural resources. This free ʻohana concert is a powerful reminder of how the arts can unite us in caring for Hawai‘i’s future, and we're pleased to share this important message with keiki and kupuna alike.”

The animations explore the stories of native sea life and ʻaumākua. Following the evening concert, there will be a 30-minute panel discussion with the project’s animators.

"Each hand that touched this work reached through the depths of memory, knowledge, dreams, and love for the ocean, and in doing so depicted just a few ways we strengthen our relationship with ʻāina,” said Kalilinoe Detwiler, the project’s storyteller and animations coordinator and a Ph.D. candidate in UH’s Department of English. “The symphony pushes and pulls in many directions: from seascape to landscape, from memory to material, from past to future, from inherited to learned knowledge, from caring for sea life to being cared for. The relationship is reciprocal. We enter the relationship by taking action – through art, through research, through the movement of our bodies and voices in ways that align with our waters."

 works with UH’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology as well as the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administratoin to identify environmental management issues in Hawaiʻi and provide scientific research that addresses these challenges, according to its website.

 “With support from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Provost’s Strategic Investment Initiative, the ʻSymphony of the Hawaiʻi Seas’ demonstrates what is possible when animators, storytellers, cultural practitioners, composers, musicians, environmental stewards and scientists unite,” said Beth Lenz, the assistant director for strategic communications and engagement for Hawaiʻi Sea Grant. “This collective effort honors our connection to the ocean — past, present, and future — and invites everyone to experience Hawaiʻi’s marine ecosystems in a way that inspires us all to mālama i ke kai (care for the ocean).”

 Previously, HSO held similar concerts celebrating native species, including “Symphony of the Hawaiian Birds,” and “Symphony of the Hawaiʻi Forests." This is the third installment in that series.

While the concert is free, attendees must reserve tickets. To get tickets or for more information go to:

 features Korean-Chinese cuisine; the restaurant opened on Sept. 10 in the former space of Maple Garden on Isenberg Street. As part of its grand opening special, the eatery is offering its popular jajangmyeon — chewy noodles in a thick, sweet-and-savory black bean sauce — for $9.99 all day.

We avoided visiting the eatery during peak lunch hours. We recently went for a later lunch — around 1 p.m. — and did not have to wait long to get a table or place our order. 

The eatery features more than 100 dishes; the menu includes a variety of soups, appetizers, beef and chicken entrees, veggie dishes, seafood, noodles and more.

The deep-fried shrimp toast ($18) has quickly become a customer favorite. It’s great for sharing if you’re dining with a group. The crispy toast contrasts nicely with the creamy shrimp filling.

You can enjoy the jajamyeon a la carte to take advantage of the $9.99 price. The noodles are made in-house and boast a delectably chewy texture. The sauce is thick and flavorful — and there’s an ample amount to coat the noodles.

However, if you’re there on a weekday, check out the lunch combos, which are served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays only. Lunch combos include your choice of jajangmyeon or jjamppong (a spicy seafood soup, known for its red broth) plus an entrée; they range from $24 to $26. Popular options include sweet and sour pork combo ($24), fried shrimp with hot sauce combo ($24) and mapo tofu combo ($24).
