It was the weakest performance since the first quarter of 2015. The economy has been hurt by a strong dollar and sluggish global demand, which has eroded export growth. Spending on residential construction was up 17.1%. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity increased at a pace of 1.9%. (Commerce Department)
