*Choose (1) one of the following projects to complete and present to your class* 1. Economics: The Bureau of Labor and Statistics issued these statistics on workers between the ages of 16 and 24 who were employed in July 1998. Use current BLS statistics to create a computer bar graph showing the numbers of young people working in different economic sectors. For example about 7 out of 8 youth worked in private business this summer. The largest employers were retail trade (7.4 million) and services (5.8 million). 2. Technology: In the 1950s it would have been hard to imagine the role of computers would play in our lives. One by-product of the computer revolution is the hundreds of new computer-related words we have added to our language. In a computer program simulation you design demonstrate what these new words are and what they mean and do. 3. PPT – Pop Culture: Use the standard PPT template to answer the following items: Why was there such a great demand for automobiles in the 1950s?
