JA Economics reinforces concepts of micro- and macroeconomics by having students explore the basic characteristics of the U.S. economic system and how economic principles influence business decisions. It also introduces students to career opportunities and consumer issues, and it helps reinforce important academic and leadership skills, including research and data analysis, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

A study guide, like the one pictured here, is found in each JA Economics program kit. See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills. For more information about this program, read the Program Summary.
