The United States has a mixed economy and has maintained a stable overall GDP growth rate, a moderate unemployment rate, and high levels of research and capital investment. Its five largest trading partners are Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, and Germany.
The U.S. is the world's third-largest producer of oil and second-largest producer of natural gas. It is the second-largest trading nation in the world behind China.
The U.S. economy has not recovered fully from the 2008 financial crisis and ensuing recession. High-tech companies are helping to drive the U.S. recovery, but even in Silicon Valley, California's high-tech center, the picture is mixed. At the same time the leisure and hospitality sector is hiring, and banking and professional services are also doing well. California's $44 billion farming industry helps feed the nation and is growing.
