This article talks about how GDP estimates is usually revised regularly by the government, which is something that I did not know before. Also the article talks about the third quarter growth rate is actually only two percent, which is lower than the 2.5% that was reported earlier. However, this is still a significant number compared to the second quarter's number of only 1.3% growth. Both consumer spending and corporate profits are up, which are two of the most important drivers of the GDP.
