      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Highlights:  Fort Leonard Wood  has a  direct economic impact on nearly 50,000 people and  indirectly  affects approximately the same number.  The  people working or living on the Fort and hence directly  affected by Government  spending total over 35,000 in the  military service, 14,000 civilian  employees of the  Department of the Army, and about 8,000  military  dependents.  More difficult to assess is the impact which a  public installation such as the Fort has on various   segments of the private and nonmilitary public sectors of  the local economy.  The Fort has little direct impact on  the agricultural economy, as little of the agricultural  production  of the immediate area is consumed at the Fort.   However,  employment created by the Fort enables some  farmers to become part-time farmers and hold full or  part-time jobs off the farm.  Employment in the  agricultural industry has dropped in all counties adjacent  to the Fort.},
