Economy of Mexico
Regional disparities and income inequality are a feature of the Mexican economy . While all constituent states of the federation have a Human Development Index ( HDI ) higher than 0.70 ( medium to high development ) , the northern and central states have higher levels of HDI than the southern states . Nuevo León , Jalisco and the Federal District have HDI levels similar to European countries , whereas that of Oaxaca and Chiapas is similar to that of China or Vietnam .
Economy of Mexico
Since the 1980s , the economy has slowly become less centralized ; the annual rate of GDP growth of the Federal District from 2003 to 2004 was the smallest of all federal entities at 0.2 % , with drastic drops in the agriculture and industrial sectors . Nonetheless , it still accounts for 21.8 % of the nation 's GDP . The states with the highest GDP growth rates are Quintana Roo ( 9.0 % ) , Baja California ( 8.9 % ) , and San Luis Potosí ( 8.2 % ) . In 2000 , the federal entities with the highest GDP per capita in Mexico were the Federal District ( US $26,320 ) , Campeche ( US $18,900 ) and Nuevo León ( US $30,250 ) ; the states with the lowest GDP per capita were Chiapas ( US $3,302 ) , Oaxaca ( US $4,100 ) and Guerrero ( US $6,800 ) .
Economy of New Zealand
The economy of New Zealand is the 53rd - largest national economy in the world when measured by nominal gross domestic product ( GDP ) and the 68th - largest in the world when measured by purchasing power parity ( PPP ) . New Zealand has one of the most globalised economies and depends greatly on international trade -- mainly with Australia , the European Union , the United States , China , South Korea , Japan and Canada . New Zealand 's Closer Economic Relations agreement with Australia means that the economy aligns closely with that of Australia .
Prague
Prague 's economy accounts for 25 % of the Czech GDP making it the highest performing regional economy of the country . According to the Eurostat , as of 2007 , its GDP per capita in purchasing power standard is € 42,800 . Prague ranked the 5th best - performing European NUTS two - level region at 172 percent of the EU - 27 average .
Hawaii
The history of Hawaii 's economy can be traced through a succession of dominant industries ; sandalwood , whaling , sugarcane , pineapple , the military , tourism and education . Since statehood in 1959 , tourism has been the largest industry , contributing 24.3 % of the gross state product ( GSP ) in 1997 , despite efforts to diversify . The state 's gross output for 2003 was US $47 billion ; per capita income for Hawaii residents in 2014 was US $54,516 . Hawaiian exports include food and clothing . These industries play a small role in the Hawaiian economy , due to the shipping distance to viable markets , such as the West Coast of the contiguous U.S. The state 's food exports include coffee , macadamia nuts , pineapple , livestock , sugarcane and honey .
Alaska
Agriculture represents a very small fraction of the Alaskan economy . Agricultural production is primarily for consumption within the state and includes nursery stock , dairy products , vegetables , and livestock . Manufacturing is limited , with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere .
Vermont
An important and growing part of Vermont 's economy is the manufacture and sale of artisan foods , fancy foods , and novelty items trading in part upon the Vermont `` brand , '' which the state manages and defends . Examples of these specialty exports include Cabot Cheese , the Vermont Teddy Bear Company , Fine Paints of Europe , Vermont Butter and Cheese Company , several microbreweries , ginseng growers , Burton Snowboards , King Arthur Flour , and Ben and Jerry 's Ice Cream .
Helsinki
Greater Helsinki generates approximately one third of Finland 's GDP . GDP per capita is roughly 1.3 times the national average .
Economy of New Zealand
The 70 % share of renewable energy sources makes New Zealand one of the most sustainable economies in terms of energy generation . New Zealand suffers from a geographical imbalance between electricity production and consumption . The most substantial electricity generation ( both existing and as remaining potential ) is located on the South Island and to a lesser degree in the central North Island , while the main demand ( which is continuing to grow ) is in the northern North Island , particularly the Auckland Region . This requires electricity to be transmitted north through a power grid which is reaching its capacity more often .
Local government in the United States
Today North Carolina calls itself home to 16 regional councils of government . Regional councils in North Carolina are committed to working together . In 2010 the seventeen regional councils existing at that time signed an inter-regional cooperative agreement that established a policy to enhance their value by sharing member resources and capacity to deliver services to the state of North Carolina . This agreement also endorses regional councils , to carry out activities in regions outside their boundaries with consent when those services are to benefit the region and the state . Regional boundaries correspond to county borders , with each council being made up of both county and municipal governments . Although the number of regional councils in North Carolina has decreased over the years , the number of citizens served by the councils continues to rise . As of 2007 , it is reported that the number of local governments served by regional councils in North Carolina has increased by 16 % since 1994 . Throughout this same time period the number of citizens served by regional councils has increased by 35 % or approximately 2.3 million . This equates to 92 % of local governments and 97 % of all North Carolina citizens being represented by regional councils as of July 1 , 2007 .
New Mexico
In 2010 , New Mexico 's Gross Domestic Product was $80 billion , and an estimated $85 billion for 2013 . In 2007 , the per capita personal income was $31,474 ( rank 43rd in the nation ) . In 2005 , the percentage of persons below the poverty level was 18.4 % . The New Mexico Tourism Department estimates that in Fiscal Year 2006 , the travel industry in New Mexico generated expenditures of $6.5 billion . As of April 2012 , the state 's unemployment rate was 7.2 % . During the late - 2000s recession , New Mexico 's unemployment rate peaked at 8.0 % for the period June -- October 2010 .
Economy of the Bahamas
The best U.S. export opportunities remain in the traditional areas of foodstuffs and manufactured goods : vehicles and automobile parts ; hotel , restaurant , and medical supplies ; and computers and electronics . Bahamian tastes in consumer products roughly parallel those in the U.S. With approximately 85 % of the population of primarily African descent , there is a large and growing market in the Bahamas for personal care products . Merchants in southern Florida have found it profitable to advertise in Bahamian publications . Most imports in this sector are subject to high but nondiscriminatory tariffs .
South Africa
South Africa has a mixed economy , the second largest in Africa after Nigeria . It also has a relatively high GDP per capita compared to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa ( $11,750 at PPP as of 2012 ) . Despite this , South Africa is still burdened by a relatively high rate of poverty and unemployment , and is also ranked in the top 10 countries in the world for income inequality , measured by the Gini coefficient .
Malaysia
Malaysia is a relatively open state - oriented and newly industrialised market economy . The state plays a significant but declining role in guiding economic activity through macroeconomic plans . Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia , with GDP growing an average 6.5 per cent annually from 1957 to 2005 . Malaysia 's economy in 2014 -- 2015 was one of the most competitive in Asia , ranking 6th in Asia and 20th in the world , higher than countries like Australia , France and South Korea . In 2014 , Malaysia 's economy grew 6 % , the second highest growth in ASEAN behind the Philippines ' growth of 6.1 % . The economy of Malaysia in terms of gross domestic product ( GDP ) at purchasing power parity ( PPP ) in 2014 was $746.821 billion , the third largest in ASEAN behind more populous Indonesia and Thailand and the 28th largest in the world .
Atlanta
Atlanta rated a `` beta ( + ) '' world city that exerts a medium impact upon commerce , finance , research , technology , education , media , art , and entertainment . It ranks 40th among world cities and 8th in the nation with a gross domestic product of $270 billion . Atlanta 's economy is considered diverse , with dominant sectors that include logistics , professional and business services , media operations , and information technology . Atlanta has topographic features that include rolling hills and dense tree coverage . Revitalization of Atlanta 's neighborhoods , initially spurred by the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta , has intensified in the 21st century , altering the city 's demographics , politics , and culture .
Prague
The modern economy of Prague is largely service and export - based and , in a 2010 survey , the city was named the best city in Central and Eastern Europe ( CEE ) for business .
Karachi
Industry contributes a large portion of Karachi 's economy , with the city home to several of Pakistan 's largest companies dealing in textiles , cement , steel , heavy machinery , chemicals , and food products . The city is home to approximately 30 percent of Pakistan 's manufacturing sector , and produces approximately 42 percent of Pakistan 's value added in large scale manufacturing . At least 4500 industrial units form Karachi 's formal industrial economy . Karachi 's informal manufacturing sector employs far more people than the formal sector , though proxy data suggest that the capital employed and value added from such informal enterprises is far smaller than that offormal sector enterprises .
Libya
The World Bank defines Libya as an ' Upper Middle Income Economy ' , along with only seven other African countries . Substantial revenues from the energy sector , coupled with a small population , give Libya one of the highest per capita GDPs in Africa . This allowed the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya state to provide an extensive level of social security , particularly in the fields of housing and education .
Economy of Scotland
In 2007 the industry employed over 41,000 people . Scottish - based companies have strengths in information systems , defence , electronics , instrumentation and semiconductors . There is also a dynamic and fast growing electronics design and development industry , based around links between the universities and indigenous companies . There was a significant presence of global players like National Semiconductor and Motorola . Other major industries include banking and financial services , construction , education , entertainment , biotechnology , transport equipment , oil and gas , whisky , and tourism . The Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) of Scotland in 2013 was $248.5 billion including revenue generated from North Sea oil and gas . Edinburgh is the financial services centre of Scotland , with many large financial firms based there . Glasgow is the fourth largest manufacturing centre in the UK , accounting for well over 60 % of Scotland 's manufactured exports . Shipbuilding , although significantly diminished from its heights in the early 20th century , is still a large part of the Glasgow economy . Aberdeen is the centre of North Sea offshore oil and gas production , with giants such as Shell and BP housing their European exploration and production HQs in the city . Other important industries include textile production , chemicals , distilling , agriculture , brewing and fishing .
Ecuador
Ecuador has a developing economy that is highly dependent on commodities , namely petroleum and agricultural products . The country is classified as an upper - middle - income country . Ecuador 's economy is the eighth largest in Latin America and experienced an average growth of 4.6 % between 2000 and 2006 . From 2007 to 2012 Ecuador 's GDP grew at an annual average of 4.3 percent , above the average for Latin America and the Caribbean , which was 3.5 % , according to the United Nations ' Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean ( ECLAC ) . Ecuador was able to maintain relatively superior growth during the crisis . In January 2009 the Central Bank of Ecuador ( BCE ) put the 2010 growth forecast at 6.88 % . In 2011 its GDP grew at 8 % and ranked 3rd highest in Latin America , behind Argentina ( 2nd ) and Panama ( 1st ) . Between 1999 and 2007 , GDP doubled , reaching $65,490 million according to BCE . Inflation rate up to January 2008 was located about 1.14 % , the highest recorded in the last year , according to the government . The monthly unemployment rate remained at about 6 and 8 percent from December 2007 until September 2008 ; however , it went up to about 9 percent in October and dropped again in November 2008 to 8 percent . Unemployment mean annual rate for 2009 in Ecuador was 8.5 % because the global economic crisis continued to affect the Latin American economies . From this point unemployment rates started a downward trend : 7.6 % in 2010 , 6.0 % in 2011 , and 4.8 % in 2012 .
North Carolina
In 2018 , teachers in the state went on strike over low pay , and decreased employee benefits .
Atlanta
Compared to other American cities , Atlanta 's economy has been disproportionately affected by the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession , with the city 's economy earning a ranking of 68 among 100 American cities in a September 2014 report due to an elevated unemployment rate , declining real income levels , and a depressed housing market . From 2010 to 2011 , Atlanta saw a 0.9 % contraction in employment and only a 0.4 % rise in income . Though unemployment had dropped to 7 % by late 2014 , this was still higher than the national unemployment rate of 5.8 % Atlanta 's housing market has struggled , with home prices falling by 2.1 % in January 2012 , reaching levels not seen since 1996 . Compared with a year earlier , the average home price in Atlanta fell 17.3 % in February 2012 , the largest annual drop in the history of the index for any city . The collapse in home prices has led some economists to deem Atlanta the worst housing market in the country . Nevertheless , in August 2013 , Atlanta appeared on Forbes magazine 's list of the Best Places for Business and Careers .

Confederate States of America
The economic losses affected everyone . Banks and insurance companies were mostly bankrupt . Confederate currency and bonds were worthless . The billions of dollars invested in slaves vanished . Most debts were also left behind . Most farms were intact but most had lost their horses , mules and cattle ; fences and barns were in disrepair . Paskoff shows the loss of farm infrastructure was about the same whether or not fighting took place nearby . The loss of infrastructure and productive capacity meant that rural widows throughout the region faced not only the absence of able - bodied men , but a depleted stock of material resources that they could manage and operate themselves . During four years of warfare , disruption , and blockades , the South used up about half its capital stock . The North , by contrast , absorbed its material losses so effortlessly that it appeared richer at the end of the war than at the beginning .
Economy of Scotland
About 13,340 km2 of land in Scotland is forested -- this represents around 15 % of the total land area of Scotland . The majority of forests are in public ownership , with forestry policy being controlled by the Forestry Commission . The biggest plantations and timber resources are to be found in Dumfries and Galloway , Tayside , Argyll and the Scottish Highlands . The economic activities generated by forestry in Scotland include planting and harvesting as well as sawmilling , the production of pulp and paper and the manufacture of higher value goods . Forests , especially those surrounding populated areas in Central Scotland also provide a recreation resource .
University of North Carolina
The legal authority and mandate for the University of North Carolina is contained in the State 's first Constitution ( 1776 ) , which provided in Article XLI

In 2015 , WalletHub ranked New Jersey the state least dependent upon federal government aid overall and having the fourth lowest return on taxpayer investment from the federal government , at 48 cents per dollar .
Rhode Island
Other important industries in Rhode Island 's past included toolmaking , costume jewelry , and silverware . An interesting by - product of Rhode Island 's industrial history is the number of abandoned factories , many of them now being used for condominiums , museums , offices , and low - income and elderly housing . Today , much of the economy of Rhode Island is based in services , particularly healthcare and education , and still manufacturing to some extent . The state 's nautical history continues in the 21st century in the form of nuclear submarine construction .
Economy of Mexico

While sparsely populated , the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources , while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufacturing , services , and high - tech industry .
Economy of Scotland
The economy of Scotland had an estimated nominal gross domestic product ( GDP ) of up to £ 152 billion in 2015 . Since the Acts of Union 1707 , Scotland 's economy has been closely aligned with the economy of the rest of the United Kingdom ( UK ) and England has historically been its main trading partner . Scotland still conducts the majority of its trade within the UK : in 2014 , Scotland 's exports totalled £ 76 billion , of which £ 48.5 billion ( 64 % ) was with constituent nations of the UK , £ 11.6 billion with the rest of the European Union ( EU ) , and £ 15.2 billion with other parts of the world .
Mato Grosso

Economy of Mexico
The Mexican economy has had an unprecedented macroeconomic stability , which has reduced inflation and interest rates to record lows and has increased per capita income . In spite of this , enormous gaps remain between the urban and the rural population , the northern and southern states , and the rich and the poor . Some of the unresolved issues include the upgrade of infrastructure , the modernization of the tax system and labor laws , and the reduction of income inequality . Tax revenues , all together 19.6 percent of GDP in 2013 , are the lowest among the 34 OECD countries .
Economy of Mexico
At the municipal level , economic disparities are even greater : Delegacion Benito Juarez in Mexico City has an HDI similar to that of Germany or New Zealand , whereas , Metlatonoc in Guerrero , would have an HDI similar to that of Malawi . The majority of the federal entities with high development ( higher than 0.80 ) are located in the northern region ( with the exception of Colima , Jalisco , Aguascalientes , the Federal District , Querétaro , as well as the southeastern states of Quintana Roo and Campeche ) . The less developed states ( with medium development in terms of HDI , higher than 0.70 ) are located along the southern Pacific coast .
Panic of 1837
Virtually the whole nation felt the effects of the panic . Connecticut , New Jersey , and Delaware reported the greatest stress in their mercantile districts . In 1837 , Vermont 's business and credit systems had taken a hard blow . Vermont had a period of alleviation in 1838 , but was hit hard again in 1839 -- 1840 . New Hampshire did not feel the effects of the panic as much as its neighbors did . It had no permanent debt in 1838 , and did not have a lot of economic stress the following years . New Hampshire 's greatest hardship was the circulation of fractional coins inside the state . Conditions in the South were much worse than the conditions in the East . Though the Old South was hit hard , the Cotton Belt was dealt the worst blow . In Virginia , North Carolina , and South Carolina the panic caused an increase in the interest of diversifying crops . New Orleans felt a general depression in business , and its money market stayed in bad condition throughout 1843 . Several planters in Mississippi had spent much of their money in advance , leading to the complete bankruptcy of many planters . By 1839 , many of the plantations were thrown out of cultivation . Florida and Georgia did not feel the effects as early as Louisiana , Alabama , or Mississippi . In 1837 , Georgia had sufficient coin to carry on everyday purchases . Until 1839 , citizens of Florida were able to boast about the punctuality of their payments . It was in the 1840s when Georgia and Florida began to feel the negative effects of the panic . At first the West did not feel as much pressure as the East or the South . Ohio , Indiana , and Illinois were agricultural states , and the good crops of 1837 were a relief to the farmers . In 1839 , agricultural prices had fallen and the pressure had reached the agriculturalists .
Vermont
While Vermont paid the lowest rates in New England for power in 2007 , it is still ranked among the highest eleven states in the nation ; that is , about 16 % higher than the national average .
