Oahu has the fourth-largest military work force in the nation, but the island’s work force of more than a half-million people dilutes the military presence when compared with smaller places where the armed forces are the biggest employer, according to a new analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Oahu had a total labor force of 501,779 in 2010, with 38,936 armed forces members at the island’s military bases. That amounted to about 776 armed forces members per 10,000 workers, according to the analysis by On Numbers, an affiliate of Pacific Business News.
