Why it matters

It is the broadest single measure of how fast the economy is expanding. Because it compares with the same quarter a year before, a collapse shows up twice: once as the fall and again a year later as an equally sharp rebound.

What it leaves out

It does not say how the gain is shared, whether jobs followed, or what happened to prices. Early estimates are revised, sometimes by more than a point.
