Hampton Roads Economic Monthly:
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and Hampton Roads
A sign of increased defense activity is coming at an opportune time, as Hampton Roads employment and unemployment data have been painting a gloomy picture of the regional economy over the past few months.
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) increases the budget caps for national base defense spending by $80 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, and a further $85 billion in 2019. This is a 14.2% increase in defense spending in FY2018, and an additional 2.9% increase in FY2019.
