4. General description of country and
state symbols

5. The flag of the USA is called “Stars
and Stripes”. There are three colors
on the flag of the USA. They are red,
white and blue. As there are fifty
states in the USA, there are fifty
stars on the American flag: one star
for each state. The American flag has
thirteen stripes. The stripes are red
and white. There is one stripe for
each of the first thirteen colonies
which in 1776 became independent
of England.

Bald Eagle

7. National Floral Emblem - The Rose
The rose, said to be about 35 million years old, has
been used as a symbol of love, beauty, war, and politics
throughout the world. The flowers are generally red,
pink, white, or yellow and grow naturally throughout
North America. The rose became the official flower of
the United States in 1986.
In October 1985, the Senate passed a resolution that
declared the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the
United States. Senate Joint Resolution 159 was passed by
the House of Representatives on September 23, 1986.
President Reagan signed the resolution on October 7,
1986 in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. On
November 20, 1986, President Reagan issued
Proclamation 5574: The National Floral Emblem of the
United States of America: The Rose.
Did you know?
The first President, George Washington, bred roses,
and a variety he named after his mother is still grown
today.

8. STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty, proud lady of
welcome for millions of newly arrived
Americans, stands atop her pedestal in New
York Harbor.
The Statue of Liberty is a gift from the
French, the statue was set in place in 1876.

9. CONGRESS OF USA
Built on a hill popularly called Capitol Hill
in Washington, DC, the U.S. Capitol has
been the home of the House of
Representatives and the Senate since 1800.
In March 1792, a design contest was
announced to design the U.S. Capitol. All of
the 16 plans submitted were rejected. A
late entry by William Thornton, amateur
architect from the British West Indies, was
accepted in fall 1792. President Washington
liked it because of its "grandeur, simplicity
and convenience."
The iron dome, also white, is
surmounted by a statue of a woman
representing Freedom, by the American
sculptor Thomas Crawford. The height of
the Capitol from the baseline on the east
front to the top of the statue is 287.5 ft
(87.6 m)

10. WHITE HOUSE IS SYMBOL OF FREEDOM
Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington, DC, the White House is one of the most
popular tourist attractions in the country. The White
House has been the official residence of all the
presidents of the United States with the exception of
George Washington. The house was rebuilt and
restored after it was burned by the British in August
1814.
The White House has six floors--two basements,
two public floors, and two floors for the First Family.
Visitors who tour the White House are able to see the
most beautiful and historic rooms in the house
including the East Room, the Green Room, the Blue
Room, the Red Room, and the State Dining Room.
These rooms are used by the President and First Lady
to entertain guests and to receive leaders of other
countries. The Oval Office is where the President does
the business of the country--signing bills and Executive
Orders and meeting with staff, visitors, and guests.

11. PENTAGON - THE LARGEST BUILDING IN AMERICA
The Pentagon is the
headquarters of the United
States Department of
Defense, located in
Arlington County, Virginia.
As a symbol of the U.S.
military, "the Pentagon" is
often used metonymically
to refer to the Department
of Defense rather than the
building itself.

12. The United States shares land borders with
Canada (to the north) and Mexico (to the
south), and a water border with Russia in the
northwest, and two territorial water borders in
the southeast between Florida and Cuba, and
Florida and the Bahamas. The contiguous forty-
eight states are otherwise bounded by the
Pacific Ocean on the west, the Atlantic Ocean
on the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the
southeast. Alaska borders the Pacific Ocean to
the south, the Bering Strait to the west, and
the Arctic Ocean to the north, while Hawaii lies
far to the southwest of the mainland in the
Pacific Ocean. Total area of the country is
9,522,055 km2.
The geography of the country

13. • In USA, there are 6 regions: New England, Mid
Atlantic, The South, The Midwest, The Southwest
and The West.

The People

16. Americans comes from many nations

17. During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries the America had its roots in the European Settlements. Within 180 years the United
States economy became a mechanized, enormous and incorporated economy and according to a ballpark figure it has turn out
to be one fifth of the world’s economy. The United States economy is considered the world’s prevalent economy due to the
following reasons.
The economic structure, the leading industries, economic analysis;
Economical history of America
Business ethnicity
The essential attribute of the U.S. Economy is the
economic autonomy reasonable to the private
sector as it allows taking the greater part of
economic decisions in influential the track and the
fabrication scale of U.S Economy. The amount of
operational workforce and their yield clearly assist
to determine the strength of American economy.
More employment opportunities
There are additional opportunities available for situation seekers just about the
world. Approximately 154.4 million individuals are employed in America. U.S
Government is a largest employment providing sector having 22 million
employed individuals. Private sector is the major job providing sector nearly
91% of American populace is in a job within the private sector. That is why all
the American citizens are measured the most civilized individuals because of
their peak living standards. There is merely a little number of individuals which
are unemployed. On February 2013, Almost 7% individuals are unemployed.
For the better consideration of US Economy structure an analysis was
conducted to be acquainted with all the particulars which provided the
consequences about U.S economy and U.S employment which is categorized by
the sector.

18. GDP BY INDUSTRY

19. It is likely that US GDP growth in H2 2013 was ~3.5%, close to the
strongest rate of growth we have seen since the financial crisis.
Improving US growth prospects keep us upbeat
on the outlook for the US dollar. The trade-
weighted value of the US dollar tends to trade in
broad 6-10 year cycles, with changes in
valuation ranging between 20- 50%. While there
is reason to suspect this cycle will see a more
muted rise in the trade-weighted value of the US
dollar (not least because the Chinese renminbi,
which comprises 21% of the US trade-weighted
index, remains undervalued despite its recent
appreciation to record levels against the US
dollar), we believe 2014 will see an environment
of US dollar strength. Most notably, against
commodity sensitive currencies (CAD, AUD),
the Japanese yen (JPY) and selective emerging
markets currencies (Brazilian real, Russian
rouble, Chilean peso), in the case of which
valuations need to adjust further in order for
these economies to achieve the necessary
rebalancing.

20. The trade-weighted value of the US dollar tends to trade in 6-10 year cycles, with changes in
valuation ranging between 20-50%.

21. Imports saw a big jump in Petroleum
prices to -0.1% from -4.7% in Nov,.
Food feed and drink +0.6% vs -0.65
prior. Industrial supplies +0.1% from
-2.7% previously.
Export prices were pretty steady
across the board with Food and
industrials showing moderate rises.
Overall it’s still a pretty flat picture
for prices.

22. On the export side, however, the role of
prices and exchange rates may prove more
instructive. The chart shows the trend for
U.S. exports of manufactured goods since
1985. Included are two price indexes. The
trend for the value of manufacturing exports
appears to rise most rapidly as export prices
go up. This rapid rise can be somewhat
misleading, however, because the export
price index is denoted in dollar terms. When
the index is recalculated and looked at from
the point of view of currency of the average
foreign buyer (the so-called foreign currency
index), the graph tells a different story. As a
result of a weakening dollar, between 1985
and 1996 the average price of U.S. exports, in
foreign currency terms, tended to moderate
and the value of exports more than doubled.
However, between 1996 and 2002 the value
of manufacturing exports rose only 13
percent, coinciding with a significant increase
in the average foreign currency price of U.S.
exports due to the strengthening of the
dollar.

23. A decade ago, the dollar began to depreciate.
Between 2002 and 2008, the dollar depreciated
nearly 30 percent compared with the price of a
market basket of major currencies, and U.S.
manufacturing exports increased considerably,
jumping nearly 80 percent during the same
timeframe. On the import side, however, the
impact of exchange rates, trade prices, and trade
flows was not as clear. Even as the dollar began to
weaken and import prices started to climb around
2002, in parallel with domestic prices, the value of
manufactured imports continued to grow. Perhaps
the key here is to differentiate trade and exchange
rate patterns by locality. As can be seen in the
chart, import prices of manufactured goods from
industrialized nations to the United States rose as
the dollar declined from 2004 to 2008 (and earlier
years, not shown). In contrast, during this same
time, the dollar moved very little against the
Chinese yuan, and correspondingly, prices for
imports from China barely moved.

25. The current elevation of the
unemployment rate is entirely due to long-
term unemployment. In December 2013,
the unemployment rate for workers
unemployed 26 weeks or less fell to lower
than its average in the 2001-07 period,
while the unemployment rate for workers
unemployed 27 weeks or more remained
higher than at any time prior to the Great
Recession. But the long-term
unemployment rate has declined by 1.1
percentage points in the last two years, a
steeper decline than the 0.5 percentage
point drop in the short-term
unemployment rate over that period
(Figure 2-24).

27. Personal income was unchanged in December
after rising by just 0.2% in November and
falling by 0.1% in October. Wages, the biggest
component, failed to grow in the month,
while proprietors’ income fell. Disposable
income declined marginally. Consumer
spending rose by 0.4% in the month, with
durables spending falling by 1.8% but non-
durables spending rising by 1.5%. The
consumer deflator rose by 0.2% in the month,
with the result that spending increased by
0.2% in real terms. The core deflator rose by
just 0.1%, for the sixth month in succession,
bringing its year-to rate up slightly, to a still-
benign 1.2% (see chart). With consumer
spending outpacing income growth, the saving
rate fell again, to just 3.9%, the lowest it has
been since January 2013.

29. In 2011, the 20 largest U.S.-based companies by revenue were Walmart, ExxonMobil, Chevron,
ConocoPhillips, Fannie Mae, General Electric, Berkshire Hathaway, General Motors, Ford Motor
Company, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T, Cargill, McKesson Corporation, Bank of America, Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, Apple Inc., Verizon, JPMorgan Chase, and Cardinal Health.
In 2011, four of the world's ten largest companies by market capitalization were American: Exxon Mobil,
Apple Inc., Chevron Corporation, and Microsoft.

31. If Wal-Mart was a country, it would be the 26th largest
economy in the world, with the global grocery giant
registering sales of $466.1 billion in 2012. According to
Fortune Global 500 list in 2013, Wal-Mart is the second
largest public corporation in the world and the biggest
employer with more than two million members of staff; it is
also the world’s largest retailer.
When you Google: “What makes Wal-Mart so successful?”
the top eight responses are related to the efficacy of its
supply chain. When it comes to consumer demand within
the grocery sector, end price plays a huge role – Wal-Mart
has been able to drive down the price of its products
through streamlined operations and meticulous waste
management and thus attracts more customers.
The retail giant held on to the top spot on the
Fortune 500, edging out Exxon Mobil for the
second year in a row. For fiscal year 2014, Wal-
Mart’s net sales totaled $473.1 billion, up 1.6%
from the year-earlier period. While its sales grew
domestically, Wal-Mart said the expiration of a
payroll tax cut, reductions in the U.S. food stamp
program, and poor winter weather hurt its
results. But in the U.S., Wal-Mart is bullish about
its plans to open even more small stores, which
compete with drugstores and small grocery
stores.
