U.S economy keeps growing

The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of three percent during the third quarter of this year, according to data released Friday.

The figure followed a 3.1 percent rise in the gross domestic product – which measures the total output of all goods and services – during the second quarter, the U.S. Commerce Department reported.

That was the largest back-to-back gains recorded since the 4.6 percent and 5.2 percent increases in the second and third quarters of 2014.
