Educators, if you do not know this, please contact JAEI before administering this test. Having unique student IDs that allows JA to follow the student through the next few years of school is critical to the study. This is usually a 5-7 digit number located in their student record.

Program Assessment

they help you switch jobs easily
they only help in jobs that don't require much training
they are only useful for jobs that require a lot of education
they make you more valuable because they can be used in different jobs
11. What are the three most important things to think about when picking a job?
*
what skills you have, what makes you happy, and the education or training you need
what job responsibilities you'll have, how much money you'll earn, and a college education
how much vacation you get, the work hours, and the number of people in the company
the amount of experience needed, how far the company is from where you live, and your skills
12. Which statement best explains the relationship between your personal interests, skills, and income in terms of jobs?
*
a job that fits your personal interests and skills with low pay is ideal
the ideal job is one that fits your interests and skills and pays well
a job that fits your interests, pays moderately, and requires you learn the skills needed on the job is ideal
a job with low skill requirements and high pay is ideal, regardless of personal interest
13. How can building connections with others help you reach your goals?
*
they can share information about jobs and education that might interest you
they can make all your decisions for you
they can make sure you get the job you want
they can do the work while you organize and plan
14. How does a market economy work?
*
the government controls what is sold
people trade things without money
people and businesses choose what to buy and sell
stores give away products for free
15. How do producers think differently about their pricing with and without competition?
*
when there is no competition, they keep prices low; but with competition, they raise prices
without competition, they can charge higher prices; but with competition, they often lower prices to attract more buyers
prices stay the same whether there is competition or not because producers want consumers to trust them
when there is competition, producers always drop their price to the lowest profit to ensure they get all the customers
16. Which two things help people choose between products when they want the best quality and value?
*
price and great advertising
