Figures are approximately taken in the year 2013

American firms own 46% of the world’s top 500 corporations.
The wealthiest 10% of the population possess 80% of all financial assets
Foreign investments made in the US total almost $2.4 trillion
American investments in foreign countries total over $3.3 trillion.


In attempting to account for the decrease in labor participation in the US one has to account for the increase in labor participation elsewhere. US has the largest stock markets in the world but the fingers of those markets increase employment throughout the world. If company zxy has a loss in the US and has increased Sales and of course revenue by 20% elsewhere that can translate to a need to increase employment elsewhere. The bottom line of the corp is not affected as one end offsets the other end but what is affected is currency in the country that is decreasing in labor participation. National employment problem has only a limited amount to do with international situation.

International growth changes the composition of the market place China Shanghi is now the 7th largest stock market in the world.
