California is most often called the Golden State. It's funny to note that 12% of locals are unemployed here. However, there is another side - it is here that 88 billionaires live, more than 10,000 families have a total annual budget of more than $ 30,000,000.

All this does not in any way prevent California from having colossal debts, but thanks to Hollywood and Silicon Valley, this situation is gradually improving.

The next richest states are Florida and Illinois.

The largest Russian diasporas

When a person travels to a foreign country, he is always interested in where his former compatriots prefer to settle on its territory. Someone aspires to these places, wanting to be among their own, someone avoids too popularized places, but in any case it is better to know where Russians live in America.

Texas, Houston

The local Russian community is represented mainly by a scientific social group. The fact is that the space center is located on the territory of Houston, as well as oil producers.

Russian-American cooperation has led to the formation of a stable Russian diaspora in Houston - there is a cultural center, a small theater and even a Russian newspaper.

In the local library, you can find books in your native language. About 54,000 Russians live in Texas, of which more than 30,000 live in Houston.

The Californian Russian diaspora differs significantly from all others - there are several clan associations that are strictly ranked. The most influential is the oldest community - the descendants of its current members arrived in the United States in the 19th century.

The second congregation, on Boulevard Gieri, consists of those who arrived not so long ago.

The third is related to Silicon Valley.

New York

The local Russian-speaking population is the densest and largest in the entire United States - 1.6 million people. It is here that Brighton Beach is located - there are Russian shops, restaurants, newspapers, baths ... Everything that the soul of an emigrant wants.

Immigration to the United States of America

It is not enough to make the decision to move, you also need to decide in which of the fifty states real happiness can be built. The American states are so different that it won't be easy to choose.

Conventionally, the Americans divide their country into four parts - the West, South, Midwest and Northeast.

1. The northeastern states are quite popular with Russian emigrants. Firstly, the easiest way to fly here is to fly home from time to time. The northeast is distinguished by a highly developed economy and a fusion of many cultures. Secondly, there is a rather high level of tolerance of the population - they are loyal and friendly to newcomers. Most of the population lives in an urban environment, so local megalopolises amaze with the speed of life and the number of people. Thirdly, the climate here resembles that familiar to Russians, all seasons are pronounced.

   Due to the close location of the ocean, the climate is slightly more humid, but the local population has such advantages as nice beaches and seafood at relatively low prices.

2. The East of the United States of America beckons visitors with the Big Apple - New York City. It is one of the largest cities in the region, and the Russians have practically their own quarters here. Of course, we are talking about Brighton - a mixture of Soviet culture with the American dream.
3. If we consider the state of New York, then everything is as simple and easy as in neighboring New Jersey. Quiet, comfortable, prices are high, but at the same time everyone can afford everything.

4. In Jersey, everything is not as straightforward as we would like - there is a hotbed of banditry Trenton, there is a cozy and bright Princeton. Finding a job here can be a problem, because even the local population often travels to work in neighboring New York. There are universities in the south of New Jersey, which means that you can find very, very cheap housing there. True, its level of comfort will also be low.
5. Pennsylvania attracts Russian speakers no less than Brighton Beach - this is where Philadelphia is located, which, according to second wave migrants, was a city of dreams.
   

In addition to the described Mid-Atlantic states, New England is also popular - New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut. Once upon a time, the first pilgrims settled here.

To this day, here you can meet representatives of the most different countries... New England is a very safe region. Climatic conditions here they are close to continental, nature is rich in colors and gifts. The cities here are pretty small local population I like the silence.

The United States on the world map is not only the most powerful superpower of our time, an economic, political and cultural leader modern world, but also one of the most interesting tourist countries in the world.

USA on the world map in Russian

Huge and varied territories, large population, large and developed cities, bright, albeit young, history is composed the big picture a place where you can travel indefinitely, marveling at the diversity of natural landscapes, the richness of different cultures and the modern achievements of science and economics.

And even if the United States does not have such an ancient and rich culture as in the countries of Europe or Asia, modern achievements iron out this relative disadvantage and allow the United States to attract more than 70 million tourists annually.

This number of tourists allows the United States to occupy the second place in terms of tourism potential, behind only.

The total area of ​​the United States is 9.5 million km², which allows the United States of America to share with China the 3rd and 4th largest countries in the world.

The United States of America is located in the Western Hemisphere on the continent North America ... From the west, the mainland of the United States of America is bounded by the Pacific Ocean, from the east - by the Atlantic Ocean.

• 2 states, separated from the main territory (Alaska and Hawaii);
• District of Columbia with the capital of the country, Washington;
• overseas territories with different legal status (Puerto Rico, Guam, Palmyra atoll and others).

Despite the officially equivalent status of the states, their role in domestic policy and the economy are very different, since the states themselves are extremely heterogeneous... For example, Alaska is 430 times the size of Rhode Island, and California has 80 times the population of Wyoming.

Largest states countries by territory are:

1. Alaska(over 1.7 million km²);
2. Texas(almost 700 thousand km²);
3. California(more than 420 thousand km²).

The population is unevenly distributed throughout the country. Most populated are the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Great Lakes region and the Gulf Coast. The states of the northwest have the smallest number of inhabitants - Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota. The most populated states USA are:

• California(40 million people);
• Texas(27 million inhabitants);
• Florida(over 20 million people);
• state New York(almost 20 million inhabitants);
• Illinois(almost 13 million people);
• Pennsylvania(12.7 million people).

Largest settlements

By listing Largest cities By population, the preferred type of settlement in this country. In the United States, it is extremely common to live in the suburbs outside the administrative boundaries of cities, therefore the number largest cities does not boggle the imagination.

American metropolitan areas, created by merging cities, towns and cities, are among the largest in the world.

By population within the administrative boundaries, the largest American cities are:

1. New York, population 8.5 million;
2. Los Angeles, population 3.8 million;
3. Chicago- 2.7 million inhabitants;
4. Houston, population 2.3 million;
5. Philadelphia and Phoenix have 1.5 million inhabitants.

The list of urban agglomerations shows a completely different number of residents involved in labor migration agglomeration core:

• New York agglomeration - more than 21 million people;
• Los Angeles agglomeration - 15 million people;
• agglomeration Chicago- more than 9 million inhabitants;
• agglomeration Boston- 7.2 million people;
• agglomeration Dallas and San Francisco have a population of 6.5 million.

Time Zone Map

Five US time zones

In 1878, the famous Canadian engineer S. Fleming, first proposed the term standard time, which was adopted in 1884 at a regular meeting of the International Astronomical Congress. S. Fleming's idea was as follows, the surface of the territory the globe conventionally divided by meridians into 24 hour zones each 15 ° or 1 hour long. At the same time, in each time zone there is a time that corresponds to the middle meridian of this zone. When moving from one zone to an adjacent one, the standard time changes by a jump of 1 hour. The local time of the individual time zones has special names. For example, the time of the zero zone is called Western European, the time of the first zone is called Central European, and the time of the second zone is called Eastern European. For the first time, standard time began to be used in 1883 in Canada and the United States. From the beginning of the 20th century, it began to be used in European states.
