Gross Domestic Income (GDI), an alternative gauge of economic output to gross domestic product, shows the U.S. near a standstill. GDI — income received by U.S. households and businesses — rose +0.4% in the 3rd quarter 2011.
GDI should, in theory, be equal to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which rose +2.0%.
The discrepancy raises fears that 3rd-quarter growth was much slower than GDP figures suggest.
