Bureau of Economic Analysis

The GDP-by-industry accounts include estimates of value added by industry, i.e. the contribution of each private industry and of government to the Nation's GDP. Value-added is defined as an industry's gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (energy, raw materials, semi-finished goods, and purchased services). The data can be used to examine changes in the structure of the U.S. economy and the importance of an industry and its contribution to GDP. The data can also be used to study changes in production, labor costs, and prices across industries.
