The U.S. is the world's largest and fastest country. However, it was the first to suffer as a result of the financial crisis. Since the depression of the 1930s, the country has undergone the terms recession, with the economy declining by 2.6% in 2009. The economy recovered in 2010, with growth of 2.6 percent, thanks to the government's large-scale budget and monetary stimulus plan, which stimulated household consumption among others. It is expected that the economy will continue to grow slowly in 2011.

The federal finances are in deficit in recent years and despite the increase in spending in the defense sector, the financial crisis and the government's restricted budgetary solutions. Consequently, the government has set itself the goal of reducing the deficit by more than 10% in 2010, to 3% in 2015. After building their growth for a long time on the basis of internal consumption, the American administration recently signaled its willingness to turn to a model where growth would come from exports. Within five years, the target is to double exports.

The overall tax system in the U.S. is progressive. Not only do those with higher incomes pay higher total taxes, they also pay higher tax rates. At present, the highest total sales tax rate in the U.S. is 13,725 percent in Tuba City, Arizona (6.6 percent state sales tax, 1.125 percent county sales tax, and 6 percent local sales tax). Federal corporate income tax is imposed at graduated rates from 15 percent to 35 percent. Total taxable income at 34% to 35% if taxable income reaches $335,000

The U.S. is an extremely competitive marketplace that rewards efficiency, productivity and integrity while requiring strict compliance with the complex rules and regulations of the nation. As the U.S. economy improves, the cost of doing business in the U.S. may increase. To compete with existing domestic businesses, this would entail a corresponding higher level of investment. Federal, state, and municipal regulations require a thorough understanding of financial, industrial, and labor legislation.
