ICT industries are a big and strategically important part of
U.S. economies, not only because they provide meaningful and
comfortable livelihoods for many people, generate good returns
for investors, pay lots of taxes, and generate lots of
business for other industries, but also, importantly, because
ICT goods and services enable and empower individuals and
organizations to work more effectively and efficiently.

International Sources of ICT Industry Data:
Unfortunately, the presentation of relevant data for ICT
industries is limited to other countries and international
organizations. Most organizations in the U.S. do not currently
organize information around an ICT framework. For U.S. and
State ICT industry information, it is often necessary to sort
through other industry categories. For a methodology in how to
obtain U.S. ICT industry data, please see the
