Super resource for college students
I work at a two year college, specifically serving many low-income and first generation students (aged 18-50+).This book does a wonderful job of providing career details.I especially like the education/training section for each job, and the related careers list is awesome for career exploration.It helps students to discover there is so much to do in the world, since many students have a narrow vision of career choices.

formerly known as Farm Costs and Returns Survey), we examine farm size,
financial structure, household income, management practices, and spousal participation
in decisionmaking. We compare broiler operations with other farming
enterprises and their earnings with that of the average U.S. household.

were raised under contract, we also explore the use of contracts and the effects
of contracting on the broiler sector. ... Read more
