"The #economy barely grew in the final three months of last year, the Commerce Department said, as it cut its estimate of fourth-quarter growth in half. #Consumer spending, after adjusting for #inflation, was anemic in January, as inflation remained sticky-high. #Hiring has also ground largely to a standstill. And #Americans’ outlook for the economy tumbled after the U.S. and #Israel attacked #Iran, according to a survey of consumer sentiment also released Friday."

Consumer spending, after adjusting for inflation, was anemic in January. Hiring has also ground largely to a standstill.
