BEA is speeding up the release of industry and state GDP quarterly data to coordinate more closely with national GDP. The format of the existing GDP News Release Tables (Tables 1-11 and Appendix Tables A-B) will be unchanged. GDP by industry and gross output tables (Tables 12-18) will be added to the Sept. 30 news release and subsequent third estimate GDP releases. Table formats are now available.
