I need the US Armed Forces demographic data for the 50 states, broken
down by state, but not necessarily by branch of service.  A map
showing percentages would be best.  (I.E. 10% of all people in the US
Armed Forces come from California, etc.).  I would do not consider the
CIA or Foriegn Service to be part of this search.

Request for Question Clarification by googlenut-ga on 04 Sep 2004 12:08 PDT

Hello jhlyons3-ga,

I have found the following data:

-  The percent distribution of active duty military and direct hire
civilian personnel, by state.
-  Active duty military and direct hire civilian personnel, by
installation or selected city.

This data is as of September 30, 2003 and is presented in tables.  It
is from a government source and is broken down by branch.


Would this be sufficient to answer your question?
