Activities of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign
Multinational Enterprises, 2018
Majority-owned U.S. affiliates (MOUSAs) of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) employed 7.8
million workers in the United States in 2018, a 1.9 percent increase from 7.7 million in 2017, according
to statistics on MOUSA operations and finances released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
MOUSAs accounted for 6.0 percent of total private-industry employment in the United States.
Employment by MOUSAs was largest in manufacturing and in retail trade. MOUSAs with ultimate
owners in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany were the largest contributors to total MOUSA
employment. (See the Additional Information for definitions of MOUSAs and other terminology used in
this release.)

Current-dollar value added of MOUSAs, a measure of their direct contribution to U.S. gross domestic
product (GDP), increased 8.4 percent to $1.1 trillion. MOUSAs accounted for 7.1 percent of total U.S.
business-sector value added.
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment by MOUSAs increased 4.0 percent to $277.4 billion.
MOUSAs accounted for 16.3 percent of total U.S. private business capital expenditures. Research and
development (R&D) performed by MOUSAs increased 6.6 percent to $66.9 billion. MOUSAs accounted
for 15.2 percent of total U.S. business R&D.

By state, private-industry employment accounted for by MOUSAs was highest in South Carolina (8.8
percent), Kentucky (8.4 percent), and Michigan (8.2 percent). In all three states, MOUSAs in the
manufacturing industry employed the most workers.
Additional statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates of foreign multinationals including sales, balance
sheet and income statement items, compensation of employees, trade, and more are available on BEA’s
website. More industry, country, and state level detail are available on the website and will be
highlighted in the December issue of the Survey of Current Business.

Updates to the statistics
Statistics for 2017 are revised to incorporate newly available and revised source data. Preliminary

Foreign Multinational Enterprises in 2017” in the December 2019 issue of the Survey of Current
Business.

Employment covers the total number of full-time and

subscription service, or following BEA on

More information on the activities of U.S.
affiliates of foreign MNEs will be provided in the
December issue of the Survey of Current
Business.
More statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates
of foreign MNEs, including more detail by
industry and country, are available on the BEA
website.
More information on the statistics on activities
of U.S. affiliates of foreign MNEs is provided
in U.S. International Economic Accounts:
Concepts and Methods.
BEA also publishes a companion series on the
activities of U.S. MNEs. Data for 2018 were
released August 21, 2020.

Value added is the value of the final goods and services
produced by a firm’s labor and property. Value added
represents the firm’s contribution to gross domestic
product. The estimates of value added in this release were
prepared by summing cost and profit data collected in
BEA’s surveys of foreign direct investment in the United
States and are conceptually consistent with BEA’s
estimates of U.S. value added by industry.
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment cover
total expenditures for land and depreciable structures and
equipment; they are gross of any sales, retirements, or
transfers of previously owned tangible assets.
Research and development (R&D) performed includes
expenditures for R&D performed by the U.S. affiliate,
whether the R&D was for their own use or for use by
others, irrespective of the source of funding.

Statistical conventions
The statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates of foreign
MNEs are based primarily on data reported in the Annual
and Benchmark Surveys of Foreign Direct Investment in
the United States conducted by BEA. The statistics provide
information on the operations and finances of U.S
affiliates and cover the entire operations of the affiliate,
irrespective of the percentage of foreign ownership.

Definitions
A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in which there
is foreign direct investment—that is, in which a foreign
parent owns 10 percent of more of the U.S. business
enterprise.

MOUSA shares of domestic activity are provided in this
news release for employment, value added, research and
development performed, and expenditures for property,
plant, and equipment. These shares are computed by
dividing MOUSA activity levels by measures of domestic
activity from other data sets that are approximately
comparable to the MOUSA measures. MOUSA measures
include activities in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories,
while these activities are excluded in the corresponding
domestic measures. For the employment share presented
in this news release, MOUSA data on employment in
Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories are excluded to
improve comparability. The domestic totals used to
compute shares are detailed below:
•
Employment statistics for all U.S. private
industries come from line 3 (private industries)
of NIPA Table 6.4D Full-Time and Part-Time
Employees by Industry. Statistics for state-level
shares come from BEA’s regional economic
accounts in “Private nonfarm wage and salary

A majority-owned U.S. affiliate (MOUSA) is a U.S. affiliate
in which the combined ownership of all foreign parents,
either directly or indirectly, exceeds 50 percent.
A foreign parent is the first person (in the broad legal
sense to include any individual, partnership, corporation,
or other form of organization), resident outside the United
States, that has a direct investment interest in the affiliate.
The ultimate owner, also referred to as ultimate
beneficial owner (UBO), is that person, proceeding up a
chain of majority-ownership (where the entity above owns
more than 50 percent of the entity below), beginning with
and including the foreign parent, that is not owned more
than 50 percent by another person. Unlike the foreign
parent, the UBO of an affiliate may be located in the
United States.
