Value added by total U.S. mining industry 2000-2021
In 2021, the value added of the United States mining industry (including oil and gas extraction and support activities for mining) amounted to over 333.9 billion U.S. dollars. That was a notable decrease from the peak in 2014, at over 417 billion U.S. dollars, but nevertheless a large increase compared to the U.S. mining industry's value added amount in 1998, which came to 81 billion U.S. dollars.
