GDP rebounds with strongest growth since 1999
The economy grows at a 5.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the strongest in over two years, signaling a recovery from the 2001 recession. Analysts foresee mixed momentum, with unemployment forecast to rise to about 6 percent this summer as hiring lags until the rebound solidifies. President Bush credits tax cuts for stabilizing the economy and urges permanence of relief.
