The total value of all goods and services
produced within the United States in 2001
was 10.1 trillion dollars.
The total value of all goods and services
produced within the United States in 2000
was 9.9 trillion dollars.
For the years shown, the GDP of the
United States increased.
It would indicate that in 2002 only 9.3
trillion dollars worth of goods and services
had been produced in the United States, a
decrease from the previous year. Such an
occurrence would indicate that the U.S.
economy had become less efficient.

Others,” and “To Know Your World.”
