The Defense Cluster is also a major force in U.S. economic growth and prosperity.

This is especially true in New England, where the Defense economy employs thousands and generates billions. Quantifying that impact was our charge when developing this comprehensive economic assessment of the Defense Cluster in New England.

This robust Defense Cluster significantly impacts job creation, income, and output across every New England state. The cluster also has a strong multiplier effect and economic linkages with other sectors in the region.
