Possible Merger
Seeing as many trade blocs cross the North/South America line, and the proposed
Free Trade Area of the Americas would create a trade bloc spanning both continents, wouldn't it make a lot of sense to merge this article with the
Economy of South America article? The latter has had even less work done on it than this so the merger would be very easy.

I agree with Jerryseinfeld; while some trade blocs do cross the line, others cross the North America / Asia line. The present division is one commonly used, but of course an Economy of the Americas article could be useful.

I also agree with Jerryseinfeld. I believe the South, Central and North American economies are very dissimilar and not joined together enough to make for a good, complete article. It would be best to do a new, separate Economy of the Americas one, leaving the others for people who want more specific information.
The sentence "Mexico, considered to be an upper-middle income economy, lies between these two extremes and is a part of NAFTA and a member of the OECD." needs a little revising. Upper middle income economy? Mexico's GDP per capita is around 10,000, which is not upper middle income. It's below the world average, and the claim is fairly inconsistent with the whole paragraph.
FYI, The standard of living in Bermuda ranks above the United States. If Bermuda were independent they would be in the top 3 countries on the UN ranking in terms of standard of living. That's a fact! Feel free to google 'Bermuda Standard of living'

Yes, Bermuda along with St. Pierre and Miqqy, is part of the well developed north part mentioned in the article - which obviously needs expanding.

Also keep in mind that you need to be careful with conclusions based upon independence of a small geographical unit such as bermuda. Sure it would rank 3rd but there are dozens of areas of the US for example of equivalent size to bermuda in area and population which if independent would rank 1st in the world in terms of standard of living. Rankings of small geographical units can easily contain outliers and bermuda would be an example of one of these.

Millionaires
In the
economy of Africa, it shows that the percentage of millionaires is 0.01% and the number of millionaires is 0.1 million, however, in the economy of North America, it shows the actual number of millionaires, and it shows the population. Of course, anybody with basic statistical skills knows how to get percentages. And the percentage is (0.65%). Of course, that percentage will always be a tiny fraction of the population, less than one percent, however, what we need to do is remove the statistical bias here that essentially says North America has more equal wealth distribution than Africa. Of course, this isn't so, as in any capitalist country, there will always be unequal wealth distribution. It's unfair, add the percentage. I can't because that portion of the table is not available for edits (for some strange, mystical reason [censorship of posts?]). Anyways, out. --
