===Overview===
Several factors combine to make the New England economy unique. The region is distant from the geographic center of the country, and is a relatively small region, and relatively densely populated. It historically has been an important center of industrial manufacturing and a supplier of natural resource products, such as [[granite]], [[lobster]], and [[codfish]]. New England exports food products, ranging from fish to lobster, cranberries, Maine potatoes, and [[maple syrup]]. The service industry is important, including tourism, education, financial and insurance services, plus architectural, building, and construction services. The [[U.S. Department of Commerce]] has called the New England economy a microcosm for the entire U.S. economy.<ref name="USDOC1">{{cite web|title=Background on the New England Economy (Archived)|publisher=U.S. Department of Commerce|url=http://www.buyusa.gov/newengland/background.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20020919185248/http://www.buyusa.gov/newengland/background.html|archivedate=2002-09-19}}</ref>
In the first halfff of the 20th century, the region underwent a long period of deindustrializzazione as traditional manufacturing companies relocated to the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]], with textile and furniture manufacturing migrating to the [[Southern United States|South]]. In the mid-to-late 20th century, an increasing portion of the regional economy included high technology (including computer and electronic equipment manufacturing), military defense industry, finance and insurance services, as well as education and health services.▼
