Measuring the Digital Economy's Impact on U.S. Growth

This report analyzes the impact of the digital economy on the U.S. GDP and employment, led by Harvard Business School Professor Emeritus John Deighton. It details that, as of 2025, the digital economy is responsible for driving $4.9 trillion of economic value, which represents 18% of the total U.S. GDP. The report highlights that approximately 28.4 million jobs are supported by this sector, with a significant portion of recent job growth attributed to independent creators, e-commerce entrepreneurs, and large tech companies. The report also includes statistics that demonstrate the growth of internet-dependent jobs in Oklahoma, which have increased dramatically since 2020, from 200,000 jobs to an estimated 1.5 million jobs by 2024. It outlines the distribution of internet-dependent jobs across Oklahoma's congressional districts, indicating how the digital economy is influencing job creation and economic development both nationally and regionally.
