ADM 341 Microeconomics


In economics, as in life, you are constantly making CHOICES and examining
ALTERNATIVES. Are you going to choose the optimal place or just any
alternative? The choice is up to you. A basis to start is a fully developed
analysis of the data. Let's talk the numbers.

However,  whether you have the wages, or not,  your ideal place
depends on your job performance in the real world. A neat site linked
to Loyola University provides the  market wages per job.

  We are going to search to answer these basic economic questions:

 How do we :

    decide what to produce with our limited resources?
    ensure stable prices and full employment of resources?

Helpful internet research sites:  Economics Education  or  Federal Statistics .
Session Two:      Can economists tell when discrimination is happening?
