specified production is consumed within area, however export expensive and low-tonnage chemicals in southern and the West defines North specialisation in a territorial division of labour in the chemical industry of the country. Inorganic in the north inorganic and organic technical chemicals do not satisfy local demand, and their considerable part is imported from southern states. The major centres of the chemical industry of area are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, Indianapolis. About 20% of all tyres it is developed in the USA in the largest centre of a rubber industry - the city of Akron (Ohio).
The nuclear industry having huge military value is closely connected with the chemical industry. In a complex of the enterprises of this branch the major place is occupied with factories on manufacture nuclear combustible (uranium 235, тритію, plutonium), constructed during 2 world wars by the government of the USA, and then transferred in operation to private concerns. The centres of manufacture of split materials are Oak Ridge (Tennessee), Paducah (Kentucky), Savanna (South Carolina), Portsmouth (Ohio), Hanford (Washington) .important place in a national economy is occupied with light industry branches among which are allocated textile both especially sewing and knitted though rates of growth of these branches are low also their relative role in industrial production decreases. In the textile industry the structure of release of fabrics after 2 world war has considerably changed - the share of the fabrics developed on the basis of artificial and synthetic fibres, and also the combined fabrics has grown, having made almost half of all production of branch. At the same time manufacture of cotton fabrics was reduced to a half, and manufacture woollen - almost in 8 times. It is necessary to underline, that manufacture of synthetic and artificial fibres is carried out at the specialised factories included by the American statistics in structure of the chemical industry, and release of fabrics on their basis is actually textile manufacture.of the textile industry of the USA from the beginning of 20 centuries has undergone considerable changes. In a current of several decades the branch has in essence moved from traditional textile area - New England - to the South Atlantic states, where a cheap labour and closeness to a cotton belt of the country. After 2 world war in this area and the next Southeast centre the largest enterprises of the USA for release of synthetic fibres have been constructed practically: kapron, nylon, dacron, fibers. To the share of southern states belongs 80% of release of cotton fabrics and fabrics on the basis of chemical fibres. The largest centres of the South are Greensboro - Winston-Salem - High Point (Northern Carolina), Charlotte (Northern Carolina), Greenville (South Carolina), Columbus (Georgia). clothing industry shift on the South also is swept up. To the share of the enterprises of the South (mainly small factories which are letting out inexpensive men's wear) belongs over 40% conditionally-net production to branch. However value of the old centres of a clothing industry in the Northeast USA, despite absolute and relative decrease in output, is still great enough. One of national legislators of a fashion Los Angeles which promotion is connected with manufacture of a female dress under Hollywood film standards became the considerable centre last years.
The big development has received in the USA the flavoring industry. The branch share makes 12%. The major branches of the food-processing industry of the USA concern meat, dairy, manufacture alcoholic and soft drinks, canning and flour-grinding. In connection with a rise in prices for articles of food in the USA the big attention is given to the manufacture of various sorts of substitutes of natural products, the aromatic substances added in a foodstuff. Manufacture of the frozen foodstuff (including snack, national dishes, dessert products, creams etc.) and various canned food develops. Food-processing industry placing on country territory in a whole differs relative uniformity. Large cities, as a rule, are the leading centres of branch. However areas of concentration of the enterprises of the flour-grinding industry is in the Northwest centre and along coast of Great Lakes (the leading centres are allocated: Minneapolis - Saint Paul, Kansas City, Буффало); the meat industry - is in Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha (Nebraska); dairy and cheese-making -is in states Wisconsin and Minnesota; canning - is in California. The largest centres of manufacture of confectionery products are New York and Chicago; whisky - Louisville (Kentucky); Coca-Colas - Atlanta; beer - Saint Louis and Milwaukee. Manufacture of cigarettes basically is concentrated within Piedmont and Kentucky. The basic centres are - Greensboro - Winston-Salem - Hig...
