The similarities that exist between Virginia’s economy and the global economy include:
- Services make up the largest portion of both economies.
- Both economies were harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The other statements regarding imports and exports may not universally apply, as the balance of trade can vary widely, and while Virginia does have a significant services sector, the implications of currency (the use of the U.S. dollar) are more specific to the U.S. economy than to the global economy as a whole.
