Earning Income Standards and Resources

The Earning Income standard focuses on the income people earn or receive. Students should gain a basic understanding of the benefits and costs of increasing income through gaining skills, training, and/or education. They examine entrepreneurship, labor markets, taxes, and decision-making as related to jobs and careers.
