WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Trying to figure out how fast the huge and sprawling U.S. economy is growing has always been tricky. But it’s become even trickier in the last several years.
That’s why government wonks this week are expected to unveil a temporary salve to admitted flaws in how gross domestic product is tallied. More fixes are likely to follow later on.
The result: The supposed 0.2% contraction in the U.S. economy in the first quarter will likely be wiped away, many economists predict. They expect GDP to show a small increase instead.
