Integrated BEA GDP-BLS Productivity Account
To provide a better understanding of the sources of economic growth, BEA and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collaborated to create this integrated production account. The account combines BEA gross domestic product statistics with BLS productivity statistics.
The BEA estimates in this account reflect the results of the 2024 annual update of the National Income and Product Accounts and the Industry Economic Accounts, released September 26, 2024, and the BLS estimates reflect Total Factor Productivity Trends for Major Industries, released December 4, 2024.
Starting with the December 4 release, BLS has updated their methodology for Total Factory Productivity (TFP) for Major Industries with improved treatment of taxes and subsidies in TFP-related measures. More information is available on the BLS website.
