The third quarter increase in the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, was hailed by a cam paigning President Bush as a sign of better days ahead for an economy that has been battered by a recession, terrorist attacks, corporate accounting scandals and a plunging stock market. “We’re kind of moving our way toward a time when people can find work, but there’s more to do,” Bush told a campaign audience in South Dakota. But Democrats, who have sought to make the weak econo my an issue in the battle over control of Congress, said that the summer strength had already faded and warned that the economy is once again flirt ing with a possible recession. “Substantial job losses con tinue and the economy is slug gish at best,” said South Carolina Rep. John Spratt, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. “The econ omy is currently weak and vul nerable to a renewed downturn." Most private economists believe the country will avoid a “double dip” recession, but they are forecasting much slower growth for this October- December quarter and the first three months of next year as con sumer demand wanes under the impact of rising joblessness, the ailing stock market and worries about a possible war with Iraq. “Once recent financial-mar ket shocks begin to fade and the conflict with Iraq is past, we expect growth to ramp up again in the spring,” said Bruce Steinberg, chief economist at Merrill Lynch. The government will release its report on unemployment for October on Friday. Many ana lysts believe the jobless rate will climb from 5.6 percent to 5.8 percent, reflecting a wave of new layoff notices from compa nies still struggling with weak GDP Here is a look at the gross domestic product, whichmeasj5|i ere are man y all goods and services proto* by workers and capital locate:: the United States, regardless: ownership.
