U.S. figures count employer establishments (physical locations); Canadian figures count business locations with employees. The two measures are not directly comparable. No 'defence contractor' code; defence work spans many industries. US codes shown are defence-dominant product lines only. Canada table publishes no matching detail.
Defence contractors are valued on their government program commitments and their ability to meet strict security and export requirements. Those requirements limit competition but also limit who can buy the business.
