Begin your discussion with a definition of Gross Domestic Product. Be sure to include a definition of GDP and a statement of the size of GDP in the most recent year for the United States.

Some areas to research could include watching your own children compared to hiring someone, doing your own lawn care, fixing your own car, doing your own housework, etc.
During the pandemic, many people worked from home and decreased activities in the economy. Do you believe this caused an increase in GDP or a decrease? Explain how you reached this conclusion.
