Highlights

As of January 1978, U.S. forces in Japan (USFJ) employed about 22,360 Japanese nationals; approximately 19,650 were paid from appropriated funds. Appropriated and nonappropriated fund payroll costs totaled about $243 million and $27 million, respectively, in fiscal year 1977. Costs per employee have increased in recent years, and wage costs can be expected to increase further because of the comparative decline in the value of the dollar against the Japanese yen.
