The U.S. defense budget for fiscal 2023 reached $857.9 billion, surpassing Poland's GDP by $47 billion, highlighting America's unparalleled military investment.
With 2.6 million employees, the Department of Defense is a larger employer than Walmart, illustrating its significant impact on the U.S. workforce.
States like California, Texas, and Virginia have over 200,000 Defense Department personnel due to their multiple major military installations.
In contrast, states such as Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming boast fewer than 10,000 Pentagon employees, indicating unequal military presence across the U.S.
