Employment and Labor Markets
What can economics teach us about jobs and careers? All employees make a trade-off between work and leisure. Teachers will learn how employers make hiring decisions and how to advise students about how education affects their wages and employment prospects. Discover how labor markets work and how migration and minimum wage impacts employment. Help students understand their own human capital and how to increase it for their long-term benefit.
