Abstract:

North Carolina ranks fourth in the country in the number of military personnel. The military contributes $18 billion per year to the gross state product. More than 330, 000 jobs are linked to the military. But when it comes to obtaining military contracts, the state is near the bottom. Bivins discusses what can be done to change this.
