The United States is the world’s largest economy in terms of GDP, and the third largest in terms of population. Although it has a vast area of farmland and is the world’s leading producer of corn, agriculture accounts for 0.9% of economic output, while industrial production accounts for 19.1%.

The USA has long been the world’s largest producer of petrochemicals and aircraft, and recently overtook Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest oil producer. However, the US economy is dominated by the service sector, which accounts for 80% of GDP. Major service industries include real estate, finance and insurance, healthcare, retail and, increasingly, technology services.

The U.S. has been a leading exporter of technology since the late 19th century, and today the largest U.S. technology services companies – Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) and Facebook, as well as Apple (which derives a growing share of its revenues from services) – are the world’s five most valuable companies in terms of market capitalization.
