摘要：	The U.S economy has undergone profound changes in the twenty years ending 2006 as real Gross Domestic Product grew from $4.2 to $13.2 trillion. This not only altered the composition and size of its business sector but also the role the nation now plays in the global economy. It is now firmly international and the economy of Texas reflects this focus, benefiting first from the extensive border it shares with Mexico--thus dominating U.S-Mexico NAFTA trade--to the current export and import markets served by the Texas transportation system, especially its maritime components. Total U.S. exports for 2006 were $1.1 trillion and, for the fifth consecutive year, Texas was ranked as the number one state by export revenue with some $151 billion originating in the state. Imports were even higher, influenced by energy and petroleum prices and, in the same year, reached $245 billion moved through Texas seaports. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Texas Dept. of Transportation, Austin.
