Economy closes 1971 strong as GNP up 6.1 percent
The 1971 economy ends on a strong note with a 6.1 percent rise in the fourth quarter GNP, while December living costs jump 0.4 percent. Inflation for the year runs 3.4 percent, the best in four years, amid ongoing wage and price control shifts and Nixon phase changes. Across 1971, inflation stands at 4.6 percent with unemployment at 6.1 percent. The government cites productivity gains and a likely moderating inflation outlook for 1972, despite a December cost of living uptick driven largely by food prices including fresh produce.
