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.
