This graph of the military reduction period from 1984-1992 shows how the low military states did tremendously better and the high military states all had the worst unemployment rate changes. Military spending went from 6.4% of GDP to 4.4% of GDP in this period. The Eastern 78 % of the American economy has a strong 97% relationship between the military cuts and unemployment changes, as shown on the tradoff line on the right. The y axis is flipped around and labelled employment to show that low military cuts giving rise to the biggest drops in unemployment rate (employment increases). The left most line shows the tradeoff in the far West is not consistent with the East, but is still consistent with the military changes.
