Household consumption rose 0.6% during the quarter, government consumption 0.9% and gross capital formation 0.1%. Domestic demand contributed 0.5 percentage point to quarterly GDP growth and foreign demand 0.1 point. Exports increased 1.3% and imports 1.1%; those growth rates differ from their contributions to the GDP change.

Full-time-equivalent employment grew 0.2% from the previous quarter and 1.6% over the year. The advance estimate uses incomplete quarterly indicators, supplemented by early estimates and other information, and is subject to revision. The 0.6% GDP figure is real quarter-on-quarter growth, rather than nominal growth or an annualized rate.
