Why do you need to learn about Economics?
I'll tell you. It is important to understand how the economy works and how it is doing because it affects your every day life!! Think about this..... How much it costs you for breakfast in the morning... How much it costs you to fill your car up with gas... Whether or not you will be able to find a part-time job... If you do get that job, how much money is coming out of your check for taxes... All depends on the economy! |
