<Anchor> A
survey found that the growth rate of GDP in the United States in the third quarter of the last quarter increased by more than 30%.
Some point out that the situation in the previous 2nd quarter was so bad that the figure would only look bigger, but some analysts say that it is a sign of a US economic recovery, with a quick recovery from the negative growth rate, which was the worst in history.

US Department of Commerce announced that the third quarter of the US gross domestic product increased by 33.1%.
This is the highest since the United States first compiled statistics in 1947.
The U.S. economy, which had recorded negative growth in the first half of the year as it entered the blockade due to the Corona 19 crisis, has recovered significantly.
The recovery in consumption expenditure also increased by more than 40% in the third quarter, hitting a record high.
The results of the survey, which were released with less than a week left for the presidential election, are analyzed to be beneficial to President Trump, who promised a rapid economic recovery.
Trump said it was the largest economic growth in the history of the United States and used the results of the survey to campaign.
However, the experts are gloomy.
Since the US economic growth rate in the second quarter fell to a negative 31.4%, the worst in 73 years, this figure indicates that the US economy is not growing, but the growth rate that had reached the collapse level is returning to its original state.
On the contrary, compared to the same period last year, the figure is still nearly 3%, which means that the US economy has not yet fully recovered from the corona, experts analyzed.
