This report assesses the contribution of defense spending in Hawaii to the overall levels of output, employment, and earnings in Hawaii¹s economy. The analysis finds that spending on defense procurement and personnel was related to 18 percent of Hawaii¹s 2009 GDP and 101,000 jobs. A sensitivity analysis indicates that defense personnel savings rates and where some earnings are spent could decrease the result by around 10 percent.
