Military Contributes to Workforce
Sixteen of every hundred Jacksonville, Florida-area residents are connected with the Navy, either through active or reserve duty, or as a retiree, civilian employee or member of a military family. This translates into an annual economic impact of $6.1 billion for the local economy. Only Norfolk, Virginia, and San Diego, California, have a higher concentration of Navy personnel. The area's four Navy bases employ more than 56,000 and have a combined annual payroll of $1.59 billion.
Every year, over 4,100 highly trained, mission-oriented personnel exit or retire from military service, and 80 percent of those choose to stay in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Area employers and economic development groups applaud these prospective employees who are hard-working and disciplined, and trained in electronics, technical maintenance, repair and management.
