U.S. economy grows 3.2% annual rate

Gross domestic product grew at a 3.2% in the final quarter of 2013, the Commerce Department said, in line with economists' expectations. The pace of expansion in October, November and December slowed a bit from the third quarter, when the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1%. Consumer spending was the main driver of fourth-quarter growth, but there was also help from other segments of the economy such as trade and business investment.
