Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 0.3% in the third quarter, after rising 0.5% in both the second and first quarters. The contributions to GDP growth from higher household and government spending were moderated by slower non-farm inventory accumulation, lower business capital investment and lower exports.
On a per capita basis, GDP fell 0.4% in the third quarter, which was the sixth consecutive quarterly decline.
