U.S. Economy Posts Strong Q4 Growth

The U.S. economy sped up in the last quarter of 2006, posting growth of 3.5% thanks to strong consumer spending. This far outpaced third-quarter growth, which came in at just 2%. The fourth-quarter surge surprised economists who initially predicted weak growth for the period.

The economy advanced 3.4% for the full year, compared to growth of 3.2% in 2005, and 3.9% in 2004.
