      US GDP growth revised up to 2.1% pace in third quarter

      Second estimate tops Wall Street forecasts and helps allay concerns about slowdown

      (FILES) In this file photo taken on February 16, 2019, shipping containers from China and other nations are unloaded at the Long Beach Port in California. - US economic growth was revised sharply lower for the final three months of 2018, with data showing GDP expanded 2.2 percent rather than the 2.6 percent originally reported, the government said on March 28, 2019. The Commerce Department said the revision came after more complete data were used in the calculations. However, that did not change the growth rate for the full year, which remains at 2.9 percent compared to 2.2 percent in 2017. (Photo by Mark RALSTON / AFP)MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images
