Watch Why People In A Community Work

Answering the question, "Why do people work?" this program introduces key economic concepts such as wants, needs, money, economy, goods, services, importing, and exporting. A contrast is provided between manufacturing and agricultural communities and the representative jobs in each. Detroit is shown as a typical manufacturing community that exports manufactured products all over the world. An explanation of why communities need service workers and how they benefit from the activities of unpaid volunteers closes the program.
