When people first came to North America, about 12,000 BC, they were all hunters and gatherers, and that's what they spent most of their time doing.

 North America To Have Fewer Developers Than Asia/Pacific - Technology News by TechWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
North America is expected to have fewer software developers than the Asia/Pacific region beginning in 2006, due primarily from automation techniques and increasing productivity in North America and the trend among companies to move jobs to low-wage countries, a market research firm said Tuesday.
The Asia/Pacific region is expected to surpass North America in the overall number of developers beginning in 2006, while the Middle East and Africa are forecast to experience the highest regional CAGR at 18.3 percent through 2008.
"For the large economy of North America, which has historically been the home of most developers, program development automation techniques, offshoring, and increasing productivity are all likely to put downward pressure on the rate at which the number of professional developers in North America increases," Hendrick said in a statement.

 North American Economy after 1500 AD - History for Kids!
Just as in India, China, or Europe, most of the people who lived in North America around 1500 AD were farmers.
At the same time, with so many people dead from smallpox and measles, and from being killed by European invaders, there were a lot of abandoned fields and villages all over North America.
These farmers learned to grow North American crops like corn and beans and squash and sunflowers, but they also brought European crops like wheat and beets and European farm animals like sheep, chickens, pigs and cows.

Government Cannot Create Jobs in the private sector because free economies have a life of their own, virtually immune to attempts at positive government action but very much prey to the negative effects of high taxes, heavy regulation and capricious legal actions.
While confidence in the prospects for deregulation among energy executives has fallen in the last 12 months, US and Canadian companies indicate that some progress is being made towards standardizing wholesale electricity markets even though events in California and Ontario have slowed momentum on retail competition at the residential level.
"The North American responses to this year's study were reflective of the challenging economic environment and the aftershocks of California and Enron," said Bill Hunter, vice president and utility restructuring co-leader with Cap Gemini Ernst and Young.

 Atlantic Canada: North America's Global Commerce Connection
North America's northeastern corner has become the continent's busiest new international connection to emerging technologies and trade opportunities, thanks to new business and political developments rapidly changing the region's economic scope and future direction.
In an increasingly global economy, a far corner of North America now finds itself more centrally located as an Atlantic Trade Rim gateway with expanding east-west trade ties via its many seaports and growing air travel connections to improving economies in Europe and beyond.
And, with a global economy increasingly relying on information technology, which measures success by computer access rather than by miles on a map, Atlantic Canada finds itself at a new advantage with one of the more advanced computing and telecommunications infrastructures in North America already in place.

During that time, Mexico’s economy changed from a primarily agricultural one to an economy based on services and manufacturing.
Beginning in the 1970s, however, the country’s economy began to stagnate as Mexico fell deeply into debt.
On the other hand, this policy reduced competition in the Mexican economy and induced many state-owned industries and private companies to become less efficient.

That contributed to the fall, Each cut takes three to 6 months to affect the economy, and to cut almost every month without waiting for the desired effect seems quite irresponsible to me. But that is water under the bridge...though they are doing the same tactic with the new reductions.

“Most residents of the United States are not aware that Brazil has the second-largest economy in the Americas, after the U.S., and a third of the population in Latin America,” cautioned University of California, Riverside economics associate professor Steven Helfand.
They want to get Brazil's economy growing again, creating jobs, and reducing poverty, things that it has done preciously little of in the past 10 years.
Brazil is one of the most important voices in the region, but has pursued a much more cautious strategy of trade negotiations with the U.S. than many other Latin American countries.
