New England States
MaineThe population of Maine is estimated to be 1,321,505 (in the year 2005) with 689,969 estimated to be a part of the labor force. The median household income is $42,163 with a per capita income of $22,896. Maine is bordered to the south and east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west by New Hampshire, to the northeast is New Brunswick, a province of Canada, and to the northwest is the Canadian province of Quebec. Maine is both the largest and the northernmost state in the New England region. Maine¡¯s land mass exceeds that of all other New England states combined. It is appropriately called the Pine Tree State, as 90 percent of its land is forest. In the forested areas of the interior there is much uninhabited land, some of which does not even have formal political organization into local units. Maine's agricultural outputs are seafood (notably lobsters), poultry and eggs, dairy products, cattle, blueberries, apples, and maple sugar. Aroostook County is known for its potato crops. Western Maine aquifers and springs are a major source of bottled water (Poland Spring water). Its industrial outputs are paper, lumber, and wood products, electronic equipment, leather products, food processing, textiles, and tourism. Naval shipbuilding and construction remain important, as well (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine). For more information on Maine, please see the following links: |
