Footnotes:

[1] Individual components chain-weight to their aggregates, therefore their sum will not match the aggregates. Rounding also has a small effect on why individual components may not sum to the aggregates.

[2] Imports are subtracted from the other components of GDP because they are not produced in the United States.

Note: Historic data may differ slightly from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This is due to differences in the precision of the multiplier used to convert nominal data to real.
