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.



Group 2: The Job MarketThe Labor Force ......................... x x x x x 34-37Metropolitan Areas..................... x x x x x 38-39Fastest Growing Occupations.... x x x x 40Largest Job Declines .................. x x x x 41What’s Hot - What’s Not ............ x x x 42Dream Job................................... x x x 43

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.
