About the Data
In 2018, the U.S. business economy was $37 trillion, representing the total revenue generated by private companies. While GDP was $20 trillion, GDP strips out intermediate goods (those products used in the eventual production of a final product) providing an incomplete view of total industry revenues. The data set most closely resembles U.S. gross output, but even that measure has adjustments to revenue.
The data is sourced from the Census Bureau and Kentley Insights. All figures are for 2018, except for Mining sectors, which are for 2012. All figures are in $ billions.
Next in this series, we share the 5-year growth rates of all the major sectors.
