Economic Impact of NCIS: Hawai’i Season Two
Commissioned by the Motion Picture Association

Across 2022-23, production of Season Two of “NCIS: Hawai’i” resulted in total spending in the state of approximately $79.4 million. Spending on wages and salaries for local production crew and other labor was the main expenditure item, making up 68% of the total expenditure at $53.7 million. The remaining 32% of spending was on local suppliers of goods and services at $25.7 million with over 800 local businesses.
We calculate that expenditure by the production of Season Two of “NCIS: Hawai’i” stimulated nearly $104.7 million in contribution to the state’s GDP in 2022–23. We find that for every $1 million that the production’s own activities contributed to the economy, its expenditure supported a further $950,000 along its supply chain and through the payment of wages.
We find that the expenditure undertaken by the show’s production stimulated a total of 1,100 full time and part time jobs across Hawai’i in 2022-23. For every 100 people the production directly employed, its expenditure stimulated another 59 jobs across the state.
