These activities are designed to give your students a better understanding of the wide varietyof opportunities available in the job market both today and tomorrow and the skills needed forthose jobs. Each activity is self-contained so you may use them all or choose only those that best fit yourlesson plans, time schedule, and students' abilities. This teacher’s key contains teaching suggestions, master pages that can be used to maketransparencies, and activity answers (where appropriate). The page numbers in this keycorrespond to the page numbers of the student activity masters.As you use the activities, we believe each student should complete them individually beforeclass discussion. If time isn’t available in class, consider assigning an activity as homework thenight before it is to be discussed in class. In this way, everyone will have thought about anactivity and be able to participate in the discussion or read what they have written.We will also suggest other classroom discussions, activities, and projects that we hope willcomplement the print activities.

This second group of activities deals with the structure of the job market and how employment trends change. Itis important for your students to understand that their choice of a career must depend not only on what they wantto be, but also what skills are in demand. They need to be sure that jobs will be available in their chosen field whentheir training is over and they’re ready to enter the job market.

Along with the activities, we suggest the following classroom discussions.1. Statistical material can be difficult to understand. Here are some ways to help your students as they
work with this information:• Make transparencies of Tables 1 and 2 using the masters provided on the following pages and spend
some time in class looking at the two tables together before your students begin each activity. • Before your students complete Table 1, work through the math with them for 1960 and 1970.• Discuss in class how to construct a pie chart.
2. Why has the demand for manufacturing jobs decreased in the United States?Cheaper labor costs in foreign countries has made it very difficult for the United States to compete inmany areas of manufacturing. Good examples are steel, electronics, and clothing. In turn, the policy ofthe federal government to encourage free trade and the desire by consumers to pay the lowest possibleprices for products makes it politically difficult, if not impossible, to pass legislation protecting Americanmanufacturing from foreign competition.
3. What is meant by outsourcing and how has that affected the American job market?Outsourcing means that companies are contracting work with independent suppliers rather than hiringemployees. This allows the company to get the same result at less cost by saving on wages, benefits, andpayroll taxes. This has not only affected the manufacturing labor market, but also the high tech labor market. Forexample, more and more companies are contracting for computer programmers and graphic designers innations like India where the salary level is a fraction of the salary level in the United States.
4. Should American companies be allowed to outsource work to foreign nations?5. Should American governmental bodies be allowed to outsource work to foreign nations?

Based on the map, the geographic trend in job growth is toward the south and west. Thefollowing factors help account for this trend:• The tendency for businesses to move toward non-union states in the south where labor costs
are cheaper.• The warmer climates in the south and southwest.• The flight of unemployed workers from northeastern, midwest, and northwestern
manufacturing and high tech companies. A good example is the steel industry rust belt in the midwest where steel mills have gone bankrupt and closed because of foreign competition.

This third activity group will challenge your student’s understanding of job market concepts and terminology in agame format. Here are some ways you can use the game.
1. Play in small groups (Option 1)Run off enough copies of the game board, number cards, and question cards for the number of smallgroups that will be playing.Coins can be used as tokens. When a player draws a number card and moves, the player on the left readsthe question and gives the answer.
2. Play in small groups (Option 2)Run off enough copies of the game board, number cards, and question cards for the number of smallgroups that will be playing. Rather than taking the time to cut out the question cards, have each studentselect one or more full pages of question cards. Coins can be used as tokens. When a player draws a number card and moves, the player on the left readsany question from a sheet and gives the answer.
3. Play as a class Run off enough copies of the game board for each student. Run off only one set of number cards andquestion cards.Students can use coins for tokens. You draw a number card and each student will move that number ofspaces on their game board. You read a question randomly from the question cards and give the answer.
4. Play as two teamsDivide the class in half. Run off enough copies of the question sheets for each student to have one or more sheets.Taking turns, a student from one team asks a question that must be answered by a specific student onthe other team. If that student misses the questions, the student is out and must sit down.The team with the most students standing when the game ends is the winner.
