General Electric third quarter profits rise 10% to $3.5 bn

Jeff Immelt has headed General Electric since 2001

General Electric said Friday its third quarter profits jumped 10 percent to $3.5 billion.

The rise was more than expected by analysts, who often view the conglomerate as a barometer for the state of the US economy in general.
