 Revised figures from the Commerce Department show the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in January, February, and March. Consumer spending was a little bit weaker than had been reported, but government spending and business investment were a little bit stronger. Imports were also revised down. New applications for unemployment benefits fell last week. 233,000 people applied for jobless aid, 6,000 fewer than the week before. The unemployment rate remains historically low. It's been at or below 4 percent for two and a half years.
