The GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, represents every dollar spent by U.S. consumers, business and government for the purchase of domestic finished products and services. Purchases of raw materials and parts for further processing or assembly are excluded. The primary sources for budget and spending information are the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Office of Management and Budget. Data marked '(est.)' are official projections, usually fairly optimistic.
