Goods, Services, and Jobs
Aligned to C3.D2.Eco.1 — C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards.
What this lesson teaches
Goods are things you can touch and buy, like apples or shoes. Services are helpful jobs people do for you. A producer makes or sells goods and services, and a consumer buys and uses them.
Worked example
A baker who makes bread is a producer selling a good, and the person who buys the bread to eat is the consumer.
Practice questions
- Is a haircut a good or a service?
- What does a producer do?
- Name one good and one service you used this week.

Bienes, Servicios y Trabajos
Los bienes son cosas que puedes tocar y comprar, como manzanas o zapatos. Los servicios son trabajos útiles que las personas hacen para ti. Un productor fabrica o vende bienes y servicios, y un consumidor los compra y los usa.
Ejemplo: Un panadero que hace pan es un productor que vende un bien, y la persona que compra el pan para comerlo es el consumidor.
