Upcoming Test, Charts, and Current Events

We have a test coming up in the near future.  I will be asking you questions about PPF charts and questions such as:
  • What do economists mean by "efficiency"?
  • What are the "Factors of Production"?
I will also be asking you to identify items in various types of graphs:
For Example: How much more per year should you expect to make with a Bachelor's degree than if you only had a high school diploma?
Some current events involving economics:
