Europe vs. USA

There are evident differences between Europe and the USA when comparing GDP per capita and GDP growth rates. Very interesting comparison is that if the European Union were one of the States, it would belong to the poorest group of states. Furthermore, France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany have lower GDP per capita than all but four of the states in the United States of America. This puts Europe in the level to compare it with Arkansas, Mississippi and West Virginia. www.bimrpo.com/euvsusa/.
