Third Quarter GDP, 2006

And the new numbers are in! What do they show? From today's BEA press release:
Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the third quarter of 2006, according to advance estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 2.6 percent.

...The deceleration in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected an acceleration in imports, a downturn in private inventory investment, a larger decrease in residential fixed investment, and decelerations in PCE for services and in state and local government spending that were partly offset by upturns in PCE for durable goods, in equipment and software, and in federal government spending.
That hurts, a little. This estimate comes in below expectations of a number more like 2.0%. I'll take a closer look at the data later today, but the one thing that really stands out right away is the big slowdown in residential investment. It looks like this is the housing market slowdown in action...

    At this time it sounds like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    An equally effective, fast, and easy way to find the remedies to
    your queries and problems is contacting third-party companies that provide real-time solutions to your problems.

    For the hosts, they can demonstrate just how competent
    they are in their hosting capabilities. Dedicated hosting allows the person to make a lot of money.
