St. Croix has one of the world's largest petroleum refinery facilities, as does Aruba. Mostly all of these industries, however, rank below tourism in profitability. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, for example, tourism provides 70 percent of the island's jobs and accounts for more than 70 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). • Because most of the Caribbean's import-export business is with the United States and the majority of Caribbean tourists are U.S. citizens. • Based on per capita income, the islands of the Caribbean are classified as middle-income countries except for Guyana and Haiti, which are classified as low-income countries. • Because the Caribbean economy is so closely linked to the performance of the U.S. economy, the U.S. dollar is also widely accepted in the region. A few of the islands even have their own currencies fixed to the U.S. dollar at a constant exchange rate: One Bahamian dollar equals one U.S. dollar, for example, and two Barbadian dollars equal one U.S. dollar. www.caribprwire.com Caribbean AMERICANS •Almost half; 45.7%) are Black while 45.9% are Strategy Research Corporation says there are male; 54.1% are female.
