These materials use the New York State Labor Market Briefings for the Central New York region to create lessons for use in an HSE classroom.  With these activities, students work with a variety of graphs so they are familiar with how to pull out information for a variety of questions.  The questions in this activity are similar to those used in graph analysis activities in the NYSED/CUNY CareerKits. Using current data for their specific region will assist them in understanding how to pull information out of the graphs they encounter.

Teachers in other regions can adapt these activities by retrieving the labor market briefings for their NYS region. To find labor market briefings for your region, search the Internet for:
