1Value added for 1998 was derived by adjusting the 1996 value added by the change in GDP by Industry between 1996-1998.
2 Value of shipments and Gross Output in 1998 dollars were converted using gross output implicit price deflators for SIC 28.
3Value added and GDP in 1998 dollars were converted using GDP implicit price deflators for SIC 28.
4 Industrial Production in 1998 dollars obtained by rebasing 1992=100 Industrial production indexes into a 1998=100 base.
