Summary

Using contemporary research and real life examples, students will explore and investigate the impact of economic decisions that North Carolina businesses, consumers, and laborers make. Students will discuss economic issues of concern to North Carolina, debate the merit of certain decisions made, and propose alternatives for workers in North Carolina’s dying industries. The inquiry based research and application will allow students to broaden their understanding of North Carolina’s role in the global economy as well as their own role in the economy.

A partnership with the North Carolina Council on Economic Education and National Council on Economic Education made this project possible.
