IU experts available to comment on economic upsurge in third-quarter GDP report

INDIANAPOLIS and BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the U.S. economy grew by 7.4 percent during the third economic quarter of July to September. The record upswing in GDP falls short of the numbers required to reverse the historic second-quarter plunge of 9 percent during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic and also obscures overall loses to total economic output due to how the government reports economic statistics. IU experts on business economics, public policy and productivity are available to comment.
