Economic Impact of Military in Hawaii


According to Pacific Business News, a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco says that "Hawaii realizes the largest effect from defense, with DOD spending totaling 9.4 percent of the state's GSP." And that: "This reflects the large number of military personnel stationed in Hawaii relative to its total population." From the other point of view, this represents evidence of the scale of the illegal military occupation of Hawaii. Download the Fed's report (PDF - 223KB).

In addition to the proposed Army Stryker brigade, the U.S. Navy is considering permanently basing a carrier in Hawaii. It would join 11 warships and 16 submarines now homeported at Pearl Harbor.
