U.S. Gross Domestic Product Jumps Less Than Expected In Q4

(RTTNews) - U.S. economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2024 fell short of economist estimates, according to a report released by the Commerce Department on Thursday.

The Commerce Department said the GDP growth in the fourth quarter primarily reflected increases in consumer spending and government spending that were partly offset by a decrease in investment.
