Slower growth?

Economists project that the U.S. economy’s rate of growth slowed in the last three months of 2016.

They expect that growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, increased at a 2 percent rate in the fourth quarter. That’s slightly better than January’s estimate, which called for growth of 1.9 percent in the October-December quarter. The Commerce Department reports its final estimate of economic growth for the fourth quarter on Thursday.
