Definition

Value added by government and government enterprises (federal civilian, military, and state and local government, including public schools and hospitals and enterprises such as the Postal Service) (NAICS 92), the industry's contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), in millions of current US dollars. United States and states: Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP by state, table SAGDP2, line 83.

Government value added is mostly the pay of public employees. For the United States it includes federal activity overseas (military and civilian staff abroad), so the national value is larger than the sum of the states. Millions of current US dollars, not adjusted for inflation; for real growth of the whole economy use gdp_growth. Industries are the sectors of the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), counted where production takes place. The 20 sector values of a place add up to its gdp_usd, apart from rounding. BEA leaves out values that would disclose a single company, marked (D), and values below $50,000, marked (L); they are missing here, not zero.
