The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) announced an online option for 16- and 17-year-old teenagers seeking to enter the workforce.
DLIR reported it issues approximately 10,000 work permits annually to such workers.

"For today's computer-savvy teens, applying for online work permits is a common sense approach to getting teens into Hawaii's workplace," Befitel commented.
