  Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in China in 2022, by province or region In 2022, the annual per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in different provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China varied from approximately 190,300 yuan in Beijing municipality to roughly 45,000 yuan in Gansu province. The average national per capita GDP crossed the threshold of 10,000 U.S. dollars in 2019 and reached around 85,700 yuan in 2022.

This division has deep historical roots reflecting the geography of each region and their political past and present. Furthermore, regional economic development closely correlates with regiona...

  Number of employees in the construction industry in the United States from January 2000 to February 2023 Monthly workforce size in U.S. construction 2000-2023 The construction sector employed nearly eight million people in the United States in early 2023, which was the highest number since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a strong correlation between the amount of investment in construction and demand for workers. For example, in the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the value of new construction put in place in the U.S. also decreased. How to improve the job shortage? Many contractors have reported difficulty finding skilled workers in recent years. However, that has not only been the case in the construction industry, but in many other sectors of the economy too. For example, U.S. restaurants reported shortages in different positions in the past years. Although there are many reasons why workers may quit, in general, an increase in the salaries of c...

  Monthly retail prices for diesel fuel in the United States from November 2020 to March 2023 Diesel fuel retail prices per month in the U.S. 2020-2023   In March 2023, one gallon of diesel cost an average of 4.21 U.S. dollars in the United States. That was a price decrease compared to the previous month wherein the value was around 4.41 U.S. dollars. Diesel prices have risen significantly due to supply constraints in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, followed by transportation issues due to low water levels on the Mississippi river. The West Texas Intermediate price also traded at decade highs as a result. Diesel and gasoline price development The usage of distillate fuel oil began in the 1930s, but until further development in the 1960s, diesel vehicles were mostly applied to commercial use only. In the U.S., diesel-powered cars remain a fairly small portion of the automobile market and diesel consumption is far lower than gasoline consumption. In general, gasoline also ...

  Global trade slows, but ‘green goods’ grow World trade hit a record $32 trillion in 2022, but growth turned negative in the last half of the year. Environmentally friendly products defied the trend. Global trade was worth a record $32 trillion in 2022, but amid deteriorating economic conditions and rising uncertainties, growth turned negative in the last half of the year and is set to stagnate in the first half of 2023. The silver lining was the strong performance of trade in “green goods”, whose growth held strong throughout the year, says UNCTAD’s  latest Global Trade Update , published on 23 March. Green goods, also called “environmentally friendly goods”, refer to products that are designed to use fewer resources or emit less pollution than their traditional counterparts. Defying the downward trend, trade in such goods grew by about 4% in the second half of the year. Their combined value hit a record $1.9 trillion in 2022, adding more than $100 billion compared to 2021. ...
