I misspoke (miswrote), Florida will gain 2,757 jobs, mostly military and loose 1,002 civilian jobs. I still think my original point stands. Some states were less hurt than others and Jeb Bush's state did quite well.

Here is the state by state link:

So you think the Department of Defense is a jobs program? Or that it exists for the sole purpose of providing high-paying jobs to states that you approve of?

DoD personnel as placed where they can best accomplish their mission -- not where they can best support the local economy.

I don't believe it is about jobs [in spite of lip service] or about political pork or about political reward. If that were so, Alaska would not be getting nicked. I do believe it is about military strategy and planning.
