The growth in the U.S. economy slowed in the third quarter of 2000, while inflation remained moderate. Real GDP increased 2.4 percent, less than half as much as the average increase in the preceding four quarters; the prices of gross domestic purchases increased 2.3 percent, about the same as the average increase in the preceding four quarters. Corporate profits increased $7.6 billion (0.8 percent at a quarterly rate) in the third quarter after increasing $27.3 billion (2.9 percent) in the second. The Federal Government current surplus increased $13.4 billion, to $254.3 billion, in the third quarter after increasing $5.1 billion in the second. The State and local government current surplus increased $4.1 billion, to $64.2 billion, after increasing $8.1 billion.
24 Gross Domestic Product by Industry for 1997-99 (PDF)
New estimates of gross domestic product by industry for 1999 and revised estimates for 1997 and 1998 incorporate the results of this year's annual revision of the NIPA's and newly available source data. According to these estimates, the long-term structural shift in the U.S. economy from goods-producing industries to services-producing industries continued. The revisions to the real growth rate of private industries were small, but the revisions to the growth rates for some of the individual industry groups were substantial.
