Things are not good, they are not bad but not good by our standards. Things are improving and will gradually improve. More encouraging is the the average work expanded in the USA. That is a sign of hiring to pickup.
As for the cuts, the amount in itself is good. The real problem is they made them across the board and they cannot be judiciously applied.

Things are good over in Hawaii, Poppy. We broke our tourism record, & stuff is still really affordable because of deflation. So it's a great balance.

It stands to reason, Hawaii is a tourist state. Even in a down economy people still travel. What are the demographics of the tourists?
