For Jordan GDP per capita increased from $450 in 1980 to about $730 in 1983. It then stagnated at about $800 for the years 1983 to 1993. It has increased slightly since then. Jordan's GNP per capita first increased from $1600 to $2200 from 1980 to 1985. Then it dropped to $1000 by 1992. This was a precipitous drop that started in 1986-87. That is it happened more because of the drop in oil prices that the effects of the Gulf war. After the Gulf war we see a slow rise in Jordan's GNP per capita. GNP per capita in 1997 was about $1600.

Even so, real wages in Jordan are now not much more than they were in 1973.(n3) Unemployment is still high. Much of this is due to the still continuing effects of the forced repatriation of about 400,000 Jordanians during and after the Gulf war of 1991, and because of Jordan's historically high birth rate and labor force growth rate.

The peace dividend to Jordan from its 1994 peace treaty with Israel has been minimal. But it seems that even Jordan has bounced back from the shocks of the Gulf War. It has been reforming and improving its economy to a moderate extent with some successes. Even so, poverty had increased from 2% of the population in 1987 to 16% in 1992. It is likely that about 15% of Jordan's population remains at or below the poverty line.(n4)

Jordan is very supportive of the Palestinians and the islamic terrorism. Thus, it cannot be a member of the UN.
