Annual Revision of Gross Domestic Product by State
In conjunction with today's release of fourth quarter 2015 gross domestic product (GDP) by state statistics, BEA is making available on its Web site revised statistics for 2008–2014 and annual statistics for 2015. The annual revision of GDP by state incorporates newly available and revised state source data, most notably the 2012 Economic Census for industries (except for manufacturing, which was previously incorporated).
Additional information on this revision will be available in an article in the July 2016 issue of the Survey of Current Business

The information industry group grew 10.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. This industry contributed 0.50 percentage point to U.S. real GDP growth and contributed to growth in 49 states and the District of Columbia. This industry was the leading contributor to growth in 16 states and contributed 0.90 percentage point to real GDP growth in California.

Construction grew 7.6 percent in the fourth quarter. This industry contributed 0.30 percentage point to U.S. real GDP growth and contributed to growth in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Alaska, New Mexico, North Dakota, and West Virginia were the exceptions. This industry contributed 1.02 percentage point to real GDP growth in Hawaii.

Professional, scientific, and technical services grew 3.9 percent in the fourth quarter—the 11th consecutive quarter of growth for this industry. This industry contributed 0.28 percentage point to real GDP growth for the nation and contributed to growth in 48 states and the District of Columbia. This industry contributed 0.92 percentage point to real GDP growth in the District of Columbia.

Other highlights

• Nondurable goods manufacturing also made a significant contribution to real GDP growth in the fourth quarter. This industry grew 4.5 percent for the nation, contributed 0.24 percentage point to U.S. real GDP growth and contributed to growth in 45 states and the District of Columbia. This industry was the leading contributor to growth in Indiana, the fastest growing state in the fourth quarter.
• Mining declined 10.7 percent for the nation in the fourth quarter. This industry subtracted more than 2.2 percentage points from real GDP growth in Alaska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.
• Finance and insurance declined 3.1 percent in the fourth quarter. This industry subtracted 0.22 percentage point from U.S. real GDP growth and subtracted 0.75 percentage point or more from real GDP growth in South Dakota, Delaware, and New York.

Tables 1–3 (Excel) show these results in more detail; complete detail is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov.

What Do You Know About H2O in Mesa

Ya gotta wonder if less than 465 people - out of a population of 465,000 - does that mean that only 1:1000 are curious enough to find out about water?
QUESTION: How much does water and wastewater treatment cost?

Hint: The answer is in the City's Budget FY2016/17 >>. $140.1 Million$

BTW: Chris Brady, in the blue polo shirt has been the Chief Executive Officer - City Manager - for the last ten years and, for some reason chooses to appear on local city-owned television station Mesa Channel 11

Valley Metro Interim CEO Scott Smith:Feature Speaker at Transformational Transit Summit

General Session 2: Transformative Transit: Lessons Learned from Healthy Cities Monday, June 27, 2016 Virginia Beach, Virginia – The Westin Town Center Join peer leaders, policy makers, and practitioners from across the United States who have successfully addressed challenges and have built livable communities through transit. Learn from business leaders who are capitalizing on transit and how they are extending the benefits of public transportation to meet the needs of the growing population. Cities and regions around the country have committed to using rail investments to move their communities forward and to serve as economic engines.   These investments have often been contentious and complicated, but the end results have been hugely positive and can provide good “lessons learned” for other communities contemplating similar investments.  In particular, Phoenix and Minneapolis-St. Paul recently have built successful coalitions that helped them move forward with major transformational rail investments focused on meeting the needs of their changing demographics, responding to sustainability and economic development desires, and providing mobility to all segments of their communities.  Leaders from those communities will share their stories and focus on their common challenges and successes. Speakers:Tim Baldwin Moderator, Rocky Mountain West Transit and Urban Planning, Denver.Scott Smith Interim GM Valley Metro and former Mayor of Mesa, Arizona.Peter McLaughlin Hennepin County Commissioner, Chair Counties Transit Improvement Board, Minneapolis. Scott Smith, Valley Metro Interim CEO Scott Smith is the interim CEO of Valley Metro responsible for the operation, design and construction of an expanding regional transit network in metro Phoenix, Arizona. The Valley Metro system is a partnership of 16 cities, towns and Maricopa County, offering bus, light rail, paratransit and vanpool services to more than 73 million riders annually.   Smith’s leadership is a continuation of his public service as former Mayor of Mesa and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the only Arizona mayor to have served in this position. As Mayor, he strategically guided the 38th largest city in the U.S. to economic rebound between 2008 and 2014. He also has a wealth of experience in the private sector as a certified public accountant, lawyer and CEO of a regional homebuilding and development company. Last year, Smith served as a Resident Fellow in the Institute of Politics at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Smith’s passion for public transportation stems from his belief that transportation infrastructure is critically important to the regional, state and national economy and to improving the quality of life for those who need and choose transit as their mobility option. His strong customer service approach keeps the organization focused on serving the interests of several customer groups, including riders, voters, the business community and city leadership.
