"The U.S. economy slid into its downturn somewhat faster and more severely than previously estimated, according to new information from the Commerce Department. The department's Bureau of Economic Analysis Friday released its annual revisions to previously published data on the Gross Domestic Product figures for 2007 through 2009. The revisions, though relatively minor, primarily reflect better and more complete data on the economy reported to the bureau since its last estimates." Daily Markets, July 30, 2010.
