Economy expanded at 4.3 percent, the healthiest six-month rate in 11 years.

Greater productivity is the key factor determining rising living standards. It enables companies to pay their workers more without having to increase prices.

The slightly faster productivity growth compared to an initial estimate one month ago reflected revisions the government made to the gross domestic product, the economy's total output of goods and services.

Last week, the government revised GDP for the third quarter up from its first estimate of 3.5 percent to a stronger 3.9 percent. Greater growth in output translated into stronger growth in productivity and lower labor pressures.

U.S. Productivity Grew At 2.3 Rate In 3Q

Strong economic growth has encouraged more companies to step up hiring. The economy expanded at an annual pace of 4.3 percent from April through September, the healthiest six-month rate in 11 years.

So far this year, employers have added an average 229,000 jobs a month, up from an average of 194,000 in 2013. This year's monthly average is on track to be the highest in 15 years.

Come on, you gotta admit that's hilarious. 11 years ago? The GOP held both houses and the presidency for 2 years. They created enormous deficits. Two unpaid for wars costing trillions. Bush Tax scam costing trillions. And just when things are picking up, America votes them back into office to finish the job they started under Bush.

Good luck with that.

please dear lets not forget that Republicans blocked most of his policies so we didn't see the socialist soviet collapse that Obama's policies would have caused.

yes dear he was going to except Republicans stopped him. If libcommieism did not work in the USSR or anywhere why would it work here?

See why we say slow?

I knew that wasn't going to happen. My daughter had just graduated from nursing school, and she was fighting off offers of employment by hospitals all over the country. I bought a Vanguard health care mutual fund for $5,000 when Obama was elected. Today, it is worth $13,000.

Poor Vigil. Can't make up his mind whether to blame the Latin's or the Orientals....

Perhaps it has something to do with corporations outsourcing their jobs to countries where it is not expected for corporations to pay half of the cost of employee health insurance...like in Mexico, which ships an entire train load of Fords up the Santa Cruz River Valley every other night from Nogales.

does this mean that libcommieism really does work and all those 120 million who slowly starved to death did not really starve to death?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

corporations to pay half of the cost of employee health insurance..

corps would rather give us lower prices so we have more money, and then can pay for our own health insurance if we don't get it from another source.

Do you understand?

dear, it already has failed which is why health care costs are 5 times higher than they would be if we had a capitalist system.
