Total Commodity and Total Industry Output in the Transportation Satellite Account Tables

In the make and use table, both the total commodity output and the total industry output are given. Separate totals for both commodity outputs and industry outputs are needed as most industries produce more than one commodity. This can be seen in table 6, which, for example, shows (reading across an industry row) that the natural resources and mining industry produces not only natural resources and mining as a primary product but also manufacturing products and leisure and hospitality services as secondary products.
