Column: Work smart to address labor shortage

I commend the Star-Advertiser for devoting so much space to our workforce shortage issue with Dan Nakaso’s article (“Isle labor force is shrinking as population ages, workers leave,” Sept. 1). This will help to raise public awareness of its complex causes, including population aging and the declining fertility rate. Solutions, like those found in Good Jobs Hawaii, the University of Hawaii’s community colleges training program, may take decades and will require the cooperation and involvement of the entire community.
