U.S. GDP up 2% for quarter
Real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the third quarter of 2015, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
In the second quarter, real GDP increased 3.9 percent.
The increase in real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, state and local government spending, residential fixed investment, and exports that were partly offset by a negative contribution from private inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
