US industry as a symbol of the country's intensive development path
The United States of America is a countrywhich harmoniously developed all areas of the economy. A huge role in its development was provided by agriculture and industry. The USA delivers to the world market a huge amount of food products and other results of its production activities. At present, although agriculture is developing faster, it still lags behind the growth rates of other spheres of state activity.
It should be noted that in the material sphereHigh results were achieved in machine building and chemical industry. The USA is the main supplier in the world market of synthetic products such as rubber, detergents, fibers, plastics and others. The chemical enterprises mostly work on the waste products of the coal and metallurgical industries, which are located in the north of the country. Therefore, for more efficient production, synthetic raw materials plants are also located in this part of the United States. In addition, the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, rich in oil, gas and sulfur deposits, also hosts a huge number of chemical enterprises on its territory.
The US industry is the giant on which it restsa country's economy. At present, this democratic state is the leader among the suppliers of electricity to the world market. It should be noted that the coal industry lost its positions. The reasons for the decline in production are related to the development of scientific and technological progress, which allowed associations such as the fleet, housing and railways to reduce the amount of fuel used. Mining and processing spheres are developed equally well, and excellent logistical solutions allow delivering the necessary raw materials in the shortest possible time.
Without too much pathos, it can be argued thatmachine building is one of those spheres of production that are developed in the country by 100%. Not surprisingly, many factories have their branches abroad. The US automotive industry produces all types of machines, equipment and machines: airplanes, wagons, locomotives, cars, military and agricultural vehicles, etc. For the most part, such enterprises are located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and on the north-eastern side of the state. Huge amounts also have high-tech industries, which include radio engineering, aviation, space and other industries.
The US automotive industry has concentratedin itself practically 40% of labor resources of all spheres of production - both material and non-material. A feature of the development of this industry is the consumption of a relatively small percentage of all the productive resources of the state with high efficiency. That is, the automotive industry has a very low capital intensity. The intensive way of development of production (introduction of new techniques, technologies, development and improvement of professional skills of workers, improvement of means and methods of labor) provides a favorable basis for machine building to continue developing at a galloping pace.
A huge role not only for the state, but also forthe world market is played by the electronic, textile, food, fuel, energy and metallurgical industries of the United States. It can not be said that this country has immense inexhaustible resources. But thanks to the harmonious work of all spheres of production and the tireless introduction of the latest developments, the production activity of the USA can boast of its intensive growth.
