The end of the market season Economy grew at 33.1% in 3rd quarter WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at a record 33.1% annual rate in the Ju- ly-September quarter but has yet to fully rebound from its plunge in the first half of the year — and the recovery is slowing as coronavirus cases surge and government aid dries up. The Commerce Department’s estimate Thursday of third-quarter growth showed that the nation has regained only about two- thirds of the output that was lost early this year when the eruption of the virus closed businesses, threw tens of millions out of work and caused the deepest recession since the Great Depres- sion. The economy is now weak- ening again and facing renewed threats. Confirmed viral cases are surging. Hiring has sagged. Fed- eral stimulus has run out.
