The real #GDP grew at a record high 33.1% in the third quarter, consistent with the declining unemployment claims, falling national and state unemployment rates, and strong jobs numbers since April. Our economic recovery is going well.

Real personal consumption expenditures grew at a record annualized rate of 40.7%.

Other economic indicators are strong too. Durable goods orders, retail sales, housing sales and new construction, and manufacturing are all up.

34 States had an unemployment rate below 8% in September. If not for California, Illinois, and New York, our national unemployment rate would be much lower.
