From CNBC:

First-quarter gross domestic product declined at a 1.5% annual pace, according to the second estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That was worse than the 1.3% Dow Jones estimate and a write-down from the initially reported 1.4%.

But, don’t worry. . .

The AP says this “1.5% drop in GDP does not likely signal the start of a recession”:
