A new study shows that military hardware we don't need isn't as great for job creation as advertised.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst found that $1 billion will buy you fewer jobs in defense than it will in health care, clean energy, and education. "You'd create more jobs not just next year, but in the next 10 years," said coauthor Robert Pollin.
The study, The U.S. Employment Effects of Domestic and Military Spending Priorities: An Updated Analysis, was commissioned by FPIF and Women's Action for New Directions, with help from the Colombe Foundation.
