Value added by manufacturing
- 1920, 1930, 1940, 1947
Value added by manufacture indicates the approximate value created in the process of manufacture (i.e. the contribution of manufacturing establishments to the value of finished manufactured products). Value added is computed by subtracting the sum of the cost of materials, supplies, containers, fuels, purchased electricity, and contract work from the total value of products.

Value added by manufacturing - 1958, 1972, 1982
Value added by manufacture is derived by subtracting the total cost of materials (including raw materials, supplies, fuel, electric energy, cost of resales and miscellaneous receipts) from the value of shipments (including resales) and other receipts, and adjusting the resulting amount by the net change in finished products and work-in-process inventories between the beginning and end of the year. Value added avoids the duplication in the figure for value of shipments that results from the use of products of some establishments as materials by others, and is considered to be the best value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of manufacturing among industries and geographic areas.

Value added by manufacturing - 1987, 1997
Value added by manufacture is derived by subtracting the cost of materials, supplies, containers, fuel, purchased electricity, and contract work from the value of shipments (products manufactured plus receipts for services rendered). The result of this calculation is adjusted by the addition of value added by merchandising operations (i.e., the difference between the sales value and the cost of merchandise sold without further manufacture, processing, or assembly) plus the net change in finished goods and work-in-process between the beginning- and end-of-year inventories. Value added avoids the duplication in the figure for value of shipments that results from the use of products of some establishments as materials by others, and is considered to be the best value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of manufacturing among industries and geographic areas.
