A current student assignment is to write about an industry or activity that could foster growth of the U.S. economy. One source you might point out to students is our Recession Resources guide, especially the “News & Updates” pages which cover the government response to the financial crisis. The White House does a nice job of covering the Economy in one of their Issues pages.
You can read more about the Recession Resources guide in an interview with Jean Yaremchuk that appeared in the last issue of The Ticker.
