About this dataset
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States (US) both nominal and real on an annual and quarterly basis. Annual data is provided since 1930 and quarterly data since 1947. Both total GDP (levels) and annualized percentage change in GDP are provided. Both levels and changes are available both in current dollars (nominal GDP) and in chained 2017 dollars (real GDP). Data is sourced from US Government's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and provided in standardized CSV.
Data
