Real U.S. GDP by metropolitan area increased 2.5 percent in 2010 after declining 2.5 percent in 2009, according to new statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.1 The economic growth was widespread as real GDP increased in 304 of 366 (83 percent) metropolitan areas, led by national growth in durable-goods manufacturing, trade, and financial activities.

Of the ten largest metropolitan areas, the three with the fastest real GDP growth in 2010 were Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH (4.8 percent), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA (4.7 percent), and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV (3.6 percent).2 The ten largest metropolitan areas, accounting for 38 percent of U.S. metropolitan area GDP, averaged 2.5 percent growth in 2010 after falling 2.2 percent in 2009.

Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis

Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — increased at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2011, (that is, from the first quarter to the second quarter), according to the “advance” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 0.4 percent.

The Bureau emphasized that the second-quarter advance estimate released today is based on source data that are incomplete or subject to further revision by the source agency (see the box on page 3). The “second” estimate for the second quarter, based on more complete data, will be released on August 26, 2011.

The estimates released today reflect the annual revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs). In addition to the regular revision of estimates for the most recent 3 years and the first quarter of 2011, current-dollar GDP and some components are revised back to the first quarter of 2003. In cases for which the estimates for the reference year (2005) are revised, this results in revisions to the levels of the related index numbers and chained-dollar estimates for the entire historical period; revisions to percent changes before the first quarter of 2003 are small. Annual revisions, which are usually released in July, incorporate source data that are more complete, more detailed, and otherwise more reliable than those previously available. This release includes the revised quarterly estimates of GDP, corporate profits, and personal income and provides an overview of the results of the revision.

The U.S. net international investment position at yearend 2010 was -$2,471.0 billion (preliminary), as the value of foreign investments in the United States continued to exceed the value of U.S. investments abroad (table 1). At yearend 2009, the U.S. net international investment position was -$2,396.4 billion (revised).

The -$74.6 billion change in the U.S. net investment position from yearend 2009 to yearend 2010 primarily reflected net foreign acquisitions of financial assets in the United States that exceeded net U.S. acquisitions of financial assets abroad. The impact of these financial flows was partly offset by the net change in valuation adjustments, which include price changes, exchange-rate changes, and other changes such as more complete source data.

Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — increased at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the first quarter of 2011 (that is, from the fourth quarter to the first quarter) according to the “advance” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 3.1 percent.

The Bureau emphasized that the first-quarter advance estimate released today is based on source data that are incomplete or subject to further revision by the source agency (see the box on page 3). The “second” estimate for the first quarter, based on more complete data, will be released on May 26, 2011.

The increase in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, exports, and nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from federal government spending and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.

The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected a sharp upturn in imports, a deceleration in PCE, a larger decrease in federal government spending, and decelerations in nonresidential fixed investment and in exports that were partly offset by a sharp upturn in private inventory investment.

The U.S. current-account deficit—the combined balances on trade in goods and services, income, and net unilateral current transfers—decreased to $113.3 billion (preliminary) in the fourth quarter of 2010, from $125.5 billion (revised) in the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was more than accounted for by a decrease in the deficit on goods; an increase in the surplus on services also contributed. A decline in the surplus on income and an increase in net unilateral current transfers were partly offsetting.

State Personal Income 2010

State Personal Income 2010
Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis

State personal income rose an average 3.0 percent in 2010 after falling 1.7 percent in 2009, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. State personal income growth ranged from 0.3 percent in Nevada to 4.2 percent in New Mexico. Inflation, as measured by the national price index for personal consumption expenditures, increased to 1.7 percent in 2010 from 0.2 percent in 2009.

Map of US

All three major components of personal income (earnings, property income, and personal current transfer receipts) grew in 2010. In 2009 only transfers grew as lower employment reduced earnings and lower interest rates and profits reduced property income (dividends, interest, and rent). The 7.6 percent growth of transfer receipts in 2010 was larger than the 2.4 percent growth of earnings and the 0.6 percent growth of property income.

Earnings in 10 states (Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia) rebounded in 2010 above their previous peaks after falling in the recession. Earnings in these states grew 2.9 percent on average in 2010 having declined 1.5 percent 2009. Earnings in Alaska, the only state to avoid a decline in 2009, grew 3.2 percent in 2010 up from 2.4 percent in 2009. Earnings in the other states rose 2.3 percent in 2010, following a 4.5 percent decline in 2009.

Professional services is the only industry (of those which declined) to recover from the earnings downturn. Even so, 2010 earnings in professional services are just 0.2 percent higher than before the decline. Earnings in 14 industries (including manufacturing and finance) grew in 2010 but remain below 2008 (or earlier) peaks. Two industries, construction and real estate, continued to decline in 2010. The 4.8 percent decline in construction brought earnings in that industry to its lowest level since 2001 and the 2.3 percent decline in real estate brought its earnings to the lowest level since 2000. The other industries (including educational services, health care, and government) grew in both 2009 and 2010. Growth accelerated in 2010 in educational services and health care and slowed in government.

Health care increased its share of earnings to 11.2 percent in 2010 up from 11.0 percent in the previous year. Health care overtook manufacturing as the largest private industry in 2009 as it continued to expand through the recession while manufacturing earnings declined. The 2.7 percent increase in manufacturing earnings in 2010 kept its share steady at 10.2 percent.
