US GDP growth slows to 2.4% in Q2

摘要

US economic growth slowed dramatically to 2.4% in the second quarter of this year, the Commerce Department said. The number was slightly lower than the 2.5% rate expected by most analysts, but was sharply down from the first three months of the year, slowing down the process of economic recovery. In the first quarter, the rate of GDP was revised to 3.7%, up dramatically from the 2.7% figure previously reported.
