The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) are collaborating on experimental statistics that will expand research and development (R&D) measures in the context of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and related data. These BEA statistics include R&D’s contribution to GDP (known as R&D value added) and associated R&D employment and compensation for the nation and all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These measures will help answer questions such as
- Which states have the largest R&D value added?
- How is R&D activity spread across the states' GDP sectors?
- How many jobs in each state are supported by R&D activities?
BEA issued the first statistics from this new R&D satellite account on 9 May 2024, including the first state-by-state numbers on R&D value added with corresponding employment and compensation statistics. View the new statistics on BEA's website. To learn more about this project, please visit BEA’s blog.
