"The input/output impact of the $6.526 billion in defense expenditures is estimated to total $12.2 billion, making it the second major source of revenues in Hawaii’s economy outside of state and county governments, and next to tourism. This represented 18.4% of Hawaii’s Gross State Product of $66.4 billion.
Defense-related expenditures account for creating more than 101,500 good paying, full-time equivalent jobs for residents, with annual household incomes from those jobs totaling $3.506 billion. This represents about 16.5% of Hawaii’s workforce of 613,000 full time and part time workers, or 20% of Hawaii’s full-time workforce of 520,000.
Defense expenditures of $2.307 billion for procurement contracts where Hawaii is the principle place of performance has doubled since the mid-1990s when expenditures dipped to less than $1.0 billion. More than half of the vendors had a Hawaii address.
