First-quarter GDP revised downward

U.S. economic growth was a bit slower than initially thought in the first quarter, according to Reuters. Gross domestic product increased at a 1.9% annual rate, the Commerce Department said, down from last month’s 2.2% estimate.

On the bright side, residential construction was revised slightly up and the retrenchment in investment on nonresidential structures was not as deep as previously thought.
