Definition
Personal consumption expenditures on all goods and services, by the households and nonprofit institutions serving households resident in the place, in millions of current US dollars. Bureau of Economic Analysis, PCE by state by type of product (table SAPCE3, line 1, Personal consumption expenditures); the national figure equals the national accounts (NIPA table 2.4.5).
The national total is slightly above the sum of the states: it also counts net spending abroad by US residents, such as government and military staff stationed overseas. Millions of current US dollars: not adjusted for inflation or for price differences between states (see regional_price_parity). Spending is assigned to the state where the buyer lives, wherever the purchase is made. It includes purchases paid on behalf of households by employers, insurers and government programs, and the spending of nonprofit institutions serving households. Not the same as retail sales, which count store sales where the store is, and not the PCE price index. BEA revises the latest years every September.
