Investing
A 10-year high school reunion provides an chance to investigate opportunity cost, supply
and demand’s effect on wages, investing in human capital, and the costs and benefits
of career decisions. In another segment, two workers, thinking hard about their futures,
learn about incentives for investing in human capital and the economic risks involved, why
people change jobs, and factors that enhance job mobility. Galloping competition in the
manufacturing sector sets the stage for discussing productivity, investments in robotic
technology, automation and the loss of jobs, and the role of government in training
displaced workers. Correlates to National Economics Standards. A 152-page teacher’s
guide is included. (68 minutes, color)
