The transportation equipment sector led every other manufactur - ing subsector surveyed both in total value of shipments and total payroll, which came in at $106.2 billion. The second largest shipments total belonged to the food manu - facturing subsector, which totaled $787 billion, according to the report. In turn, the food manufac- turing subsector's payroll was logged at a valuation of $68.8 bil- lion. The third largest subsector, according to the same measure- ments, was chemical manufactur- ing, which totaled $765.1 billion in shipments and $60.2 billion in payroll. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, which releases the report, the transportation equipment sec - tor was the first manufacturing subsector to surpass the $1 trillion in shipments mark. Data from the Annual Manufacturers Survey is used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which uses the data to determine GDP estimates, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which uses the data to calculate annual productiv - ity series and to update producer price indexes, according to the Census Bureau. The Federal Reserve Board also uses the report when compiling the Index of Industrial Production.
