Goods and Services

From grocery stores to hair salons, goods and services are part of everyday life. This book introduces readers to the essential differences between goods--things people can see and touch--and services--jobs people do to help others. Clear, accessible text explains how goods are produced, how services are provided, and how both help communities meet their needs and wants. Readers will discover how producers and consumers depend on one another and how simple economic choices shape the world around them. With engaging examples and clear, straightforward language, this book supports state and national standards to make an important social studies concept easy to understand for learners in grades 3-5.
