Output
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the broadest measure of economic activity. It is the sum of the value of all goods and services produced in an economy. GDP and output are highly correlated with incomes and the wellbeing of a region. The more a region can produce, the more income the region is generating and the more workers in that region can earn.
