Aerospace spending



It's a truism that aerospace spending is concentrated in the Sunbelt;
still interesting to know just *how* concentrated. From RAND's 2005
"Tracking Federal Procurement and R&D Spending in the Aerospace
Sector," covering the decade 1993-2003:

NASA:

California 36%
Texas 28%
Florida 7%
Maryland 6%
Utah 5%
All others 18%

Even more concentrated than its big brother...

DoD aerospace:

California 22%
Texas 14%
Missouri 10%
Florida 7%
Georgia 7%
All others 40%
