Jobs and Economy
Jobs are positions where people earn income by performing work, which supports their lifestyle and contributes to the economy. The economy is the overall system of producing, selling, and buying goods and services. When the economy is strong, businesses grow, hiring increases, and more jobs are available, boosting income and spending. Conversely, a weak economy may lead to job losses and reduced spending. Stable employment helps ensure people can meet their needs and supports overall growth. Economic health relies on balance—productive jobs, healthy businesses, and manageable inflation all work together to sustain prosperity.
