Overview of the Economy: Table
The data on this page, drawn from BEA's various economic accounts, comprise
an overview of the U.S. economy in recent quarters. Please explore other
pages on our site for additional detail. Series marked with an "*"
are based on "real" estimates that are calculated using a chain-type
Fisher formula; annual chain-type measures are calculated with annual
weights and quarterly chain-type measures are calculated with quarterly
weights. Series marked with a "#" are based on current-dollar
estimates.
