Answer:

Ellen services is included in U.S. GDP

Step-by-step explanation:

Domestic work that is not paid is not included in the calculation of a country's GDP. That's the case with Sam household works.

All the compensation to employees are considered in GPD computation, it is not important the nationality of the employee, but the work must be done in the U.S. and that's the case with Ellen.
