This assignment is aligned to this course outcome: \u2022 Apply macroeconomic concepts to current and personal economic events and decisions. In addition to writing about macroeconomic concepts, it’s equally important to be able to convey your understanding of these concepts by communicating them to others. In the workplace you might do this by writing briefs (like you did for Assignment 1), creating presentations, or writing reports for your manager or team. This Final Report assignment will be a Word document (approximately 3 pages) that builds off your previous Economic Brief and selected industry.<\/p>\n
