>NEW YORK (CNNfn) - <font color="#FF0000">The U.S. economy grew at its slowest rate in four years </font> in the third quarter, the government said Thursday in its final reading on gross domestic product for the quarter.
>The Commerce Department cut its estimate of GDP -- the broadest measure of the nation's economy -- to a <font color="#FF0000"> 2.2 percent growth </font>rate in the quarter from the 2.4 percent reported a month ago.
><font color="#FF0000">That was less than half the second quarter's 5.6 percent growth rate and the slowest since a 2 percent rate in the third quarter of 1996. </font> Wall Street analysts had been looking for a final reading of 2.4 percent.
>A key index of inflation rose 1.8 percent, the department said in its report, which was a shade below Wall Street forecasts.
>Weaker exports contributed to the reduced reading, the department said in its report.
>The report is the latest pointing to much slower growth in the world's largest economy. The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that the economy now faced more risk of a downturn than from inflation, signaling it was set to cut rates next year in a bid to ward recession after nearly 10 years of growth - the longest expansion in U.S. history.
>Separately, new jobless claims rose to 354,000 last week from 320,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said, a slight sign of weakness in what is still seen as a tight job market.
