Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around identifying the most profitable sectors contributing to the GDP of the United States. Participants explore various sectors, including manufacturing and finance, and compare them to sectors in other countries, such as Italy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the most profitable sectors in the US economy, suggesting manufacturing as a potential candidate.
  • Another participant provides a link to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) for further exploration of GDP by industry.
  • A subsequent post questions whether a specific BEA link is appropriate for checking sector performance.
  • One participant proposes that manufacturing and finance might be the strongest sectors, but this assertion remains unverified.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Contextual Notes

Hi.
Does someone that know more about US economy can help me in answering this question?

Which are the most profitable sectors in the USA that create a so high GDP?
The manufactural one ?

For example my country ( Italy) have a great tourism sector, almost in every periodo f the year people came to visit Italy.

We have;
A good high fashion sector: Armani, Prada, Gucci, Dolce e Gabbana etc... so a manufacturer sector.
Cars: Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, although fiat cars are cheap and have low quality, one of the worst world car.
Food Brands: Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Barilla, Buitoni, De Cecco...etc...

We lack the technological part, we don't have an italian mobile phone or a computer, even thought we had Olivetti.

It seems that the best are the manufactural one and the financial one, it is?
