Real Gross Domestic Product

When you hear 'the economy grew 2% last quarter,' this is the data behind that number. Real GDP takes all the goods and services America produces, removes the effect of inflation (so you're comparing apples to apples), and tells you if we're actually making more stuff or just paying more for the same stuff. It goes back to 1947, so you can see how the economy has done through recessions, booms, wars, and crises.
