TERTIARY SECTOR


Tertiary sector is the field where the United States are more advanced.
The 72,1% of GDP comes from tertiary and 73.3% of workers is employed in tertiary sector.

TRANSPORT

Great importance is given to the 300,000 km of railway network, used more than anything else for the transport of goods and is integrated with a super-efficient road network; the rail and road network cover the whole territory helping the transport of goods and travel.

Despite the attack of 11 September, air transport, with its 16,000 airports, is one of the favorites by Americans.
We can say that in America the plane is used as in Italy is used the train.

Also the sea transport is extremely developed.
The modern transport network has favored the birth of commercial activities linked to it as insurance, freight forwarders and service areas.

SCHOOL


Other service sectors very efficient are private schools, which offer, in addition to a high degree of teaching, safety: infact as the frequency of shooting in public schools, we must pass under the metal detector placed to entry.

TOURISM

United States is the country of big cities, mainly located on the two coastal areas: New York, or farther down the Atlantic Ocean Miami, and Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle, facing west and the Pacific.

But tourism in the US is also synonymous with unspoiled natural areas: the canyons found in Colorado, the great parks and nature reserves.

It is not over: the United States also means Texas, with his ranch and his conservative view of life, and it also means Hawaii, the archipelago located off the California coast.

WASHINGTON D.C.

Washington D.C. is the capital city of the United States, located between Virginia and Maryland on the north of the Potomac River.

Its name is given in honor of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America and the city is home to all three branches of the federal government, as well as the White House, the Supreme Court and the Capitol Building.
More than 500,000 people live in Washington, D.C.

Washington D.C. is a city with strong contrasts: on the one hand boasts magnificent monuments, buildings and wide boulevards and from the other poor neighborhoods inhabited mainly by immigrants and the needy, that surround the city.

UNSPOILED NATURAL AREAS

Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States.
The waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.

In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a land of extremes.
Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life survives in Death Valley.
