The Joint Economic Committee notes 2.39 million of 78.66 million workers are in defense related jobs, many aiding less developed countries. Foreign Affairs cites 1956 to 1965 economic aid at 26.3 billion and military aid at 13 billion, with India leading in economic aid and Israel receiving the highest per capita aid. It suggests future defense output may stay tight as U.S. troops demand more and arms usage by beneficiaries is better controlled.
