Do: Assignment 15

Introduction:  Supply and demand forces coordinate the actions and interactions of millions of buyers and sellers--even in the job market.  Through price signaling, people communicate what they value.   The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) helps you determine what markets value in a long list of occupations.  Additionally, the OOH describes (i) what is valued by employers in terms of education and training, (ii) what to expect in terms of job prospects and earnings, and (iii) the associated responsibilities and working conditions for a vast variety of occupations.   This information will help you identify your potential income stream and, in turn, help you better plan for the future.

Visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) at http://www.bls.gov/ooh/ and pick one occupation of interest given your major, talents, and/or hobbies.  Apply the economic way of thinking to describe the supply and demand conditions of this occupation, using the OOH data and Common Sense Economics (2010) Part I.
