To explain the economy of Washington various maps were compared. I first compared the occupation industry of agriculture, forestry and mining to the retail and trade industry, then I compared total employed population to the number of people that lives in poverty and finally I evaluated the average quality of life index per county.
Agriculture forestry and Mining industry Retail industryAfter comparing both maps, it was realized that the regions with the highest average number of people in the agriculture industry are not the same regions that have a high average number of people in the retail in industry this is because the economy of different regions are based on different industries. Regions like Grant County and Adam’s County that has a large agriculture-based economy tend to have a low retail trade industry because the goods that are produced are sent to regions that are more focused on manufactured products hence those regions have economies are based in the retail industry.
This is an important topic when explaining the economy of a region because as you can seen on the maps the regions with a high of employment population are the regions that have that highest numbers of poverty. To understand this phenomenon, you need to understand that these areas have a high population which means that although many people are employed there are still not enough jobs to for the entire population which left a huge population to do jobs that are not able to sustain themselves are worst unemployed.
Looking at the average quality of life index in the counties of was it can can be concluded the the counties located in the central region of the country has the highest quantity of life index, which includes financial stability, access to healthcare, education etc. which that although counties like kings County has a high employment rate it is among the region with the the highest quality of life index which reflects a better economy than region with a lower number poverty.
