On September 16, LOL菠菜竞猜App welcomed economist and professor Mark Skousen, Ph.D., to its Aloha Tower Marketplace campus for a special presentation entitled, “Raising the Minimum Wage: Good or Bad for Hawai‘i?” The presentation arrives at a pertinent time as the Hawai‘i Legislature recently increased the state’s minimum wage this year to $18 an hour by 2028.

“It’s an honor to welcome Mark Skousen to LOL菠菜竞猜App for this special presentation on the minimum wage, specifically, if raising it is good or bad for Hawai‘i,” said Schoolland. “Mark is an old friend and it’s been great to see him. Our LOL菠菜竞猜App students really enjoyed this opportunity to participate in Mark’s presentation. He certainly is one of America’s most influential and entertaining economists.”
