The Economic Literacy Summer Series sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union continues with Economy, Jr. at Hemphill Library Tuesday, June 17th 6:30-8:00pm FREE for area teens.

Economy, Jr. provides students with insight into both sides of the economic coin by having them choose at the start of the game whether they want to play as a customer spending a month’s paycheck from their chosen career on necessities such as housing, groceries, child care, and more or as a merchant selling these products to customers to cover daily overhead and hopefully post a profit.
