Jordan

I am not studying abroad, so, I chose Jordan to be my country. I have some family that lives over there, so, it's always nice to have some sort of connection to the area.



Alrighty, all the exciting stuff about Jordan.
GDP: $36.82 billion
GDP per capita: $5,900
Life expectancy: 80.18 years
Poverty rate: 13.3%
Literacy rate: 89.9%
Unemployment rate: 12.3%
Inflation: 6.4%

Interesting note: I was looking up the poverty rate on google and the first link that I clicked on was an article that my uncle wrote about poverty in Jordan! Here is the link if for some crazy reason you'd like to read it: http://archive.jordantimes.com/?news=28869
