US industry as a symbol of the country's intensive development path

The United States of America is a country in which all sectors of the economy are harmoniously developed. Agriculture and industry played a huge role in its formation. The United States supplies the world market with a huge amount of food and other products of its production activities. At present, although agriculture is developing faster, it still lags behind the growth rates of other areas of state activity.

It should be noted that mechanical engineering and the chemical industry achieved high results in the material sphere. The United States is the world's leading supplier of synthetic products such as rubber, detergents, fibers, plastics, and others. Most chemical enterprises operate on waste from the coal and metallurgical industries, which are located in the north of the country. Therefore, for more efficient production, synthetic raw materials factories are also located in this part of the USA. In addition, the Gulf Coast, rich in oil, gas and sulfur deposits, also hosts a huge number of chemical enterprises.

US industry is a giant on which the country's economy is based. Currently, this democratic state is a leader among suppliers of electricity to the world market. It should be noted that the coal industry has lost its positions. The reasons for the decline in production are related to the development of scientific and technological progress, which has allowed associations such as the fleet, housing and railways to reduce the amount of fuel used. The mining and processing sectors are equally well developed, and excellent logistics solutions allow us to deliver the necessary raw materials in the shortest possible time.

Without too much pathos, it can be argued that mechanical engineering is one of those areas of production that are 100% developed in the country. Not surprisingly, many factories have their branches abroad as well. The US automotive industry manufactures all types of machine tools, equipment and machines: aircraft, railcars, locomotives, cars, military and agricultural vehicles, etc. For the most part, such enterprises are located on the Pacific coast and on the northeast side of the state. Science-intensive industries, which include radio engineering, aviation, space and other industries, also have a huge weight.

The US automotive industry has concentrated almost 40% of the labor force in all areas of production - both tangible and intangible. A feature of the development of this industry is the consumption of a relatively small percentage of allproduction resources of the state with high performance. That is, the automotive industry has a very low capital intensity. The intensive path of development of production (the introduction of new techniques and technologies, the development and advanced training of workers, the improvement of means and methods of labor) provides a favorable basis for the further development of engineering at a galloping pace.

The electronic, textile, food, fuel and energy and metallurgical industries of the United States play a huge role not only for the state, but for the entire world market. It cannot be said that this country has huge inexhaustible resources. But thanks to the coordinated work of all areas of production and the relentless implementation of the latest developments, US manufacturing activity can boast of its intensive growth.
