Rank is derived by Quadranac: 1 = highest value; ties share a rank. The ranked value is itself derived; see the source table for the method. Values are as published in the source table.

Note: BEA suppresses some state industry values to avoid disclosing data for individual companies; those states are left out of that ranking. Shares are of current-dollar GDP, derived by Quadranac.
