How many agents work in Hawaii
The BLS counts 690 employed sales agents in Hawaii, which understates the licensed population because most agents are independent contractors. US Realtor List's Hawaii realtor list counts the agents with a published, current business email on brokerage rosters and licence registers, and prints that figure on its state page; the two numbers measure different things and the second is usually larger.
