Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.3 percent in the third quarter of 2021, following an increase of 6.7 percent in the second quarter.

The four-week moving average, which smooths week-to-week volatility in the data, is now 204,500, below pre-pandemic levels and down 76% since President Biden took office.
