The actual size of Jordan is basically the same as the state of Indiana to give you a rough estimation of how big the country is. As of July 2001 Jordan has a population of just over 5.5 million people. The population growth rate is roughly 3 percent, which is one of the highest in the world. Of those 5.5 million people 93% of males can read and write and only 69% of females can read and write. 37% are ages 0-14, 59% are ages 15-64 and only 4% are over the age of 65. The life expectancy in Jordan is 80 for females and 75 for males (http://www.odci.gov).

The Jordanian currency is measured in dinar. One U.S. dollar is equivalent to .7090 dinar. The average annual income for Jordanians is $1,630. That is where the problem exists for our company. A hat costs about 3 dollars to make and we sell our hats for twenty dollars a person will not purchase a hat because that would be a quart
