- Indicator id: `gdp_by_industry_usd_retail_trade`
- Place id: `us`
- Unit: USD million
- Definition: Value added by retail trade (NAICS 44-45), 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 35.
- Note: Value added is sales minus the cost of goods sold and other inputs, so it is much smaller than retail sales. 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.
