Find a current (within 5 years) article on ONE of the three major macroeconomic variables, GDP per capital, CPI or Inflation, Labor force statistics, that discusses its use/importance in determining the economic well-being of a particular economy, country, region, etc.
There is no one specific topic you have to address, but may be subtopics that fall under the primary heading or variable. For instance, you may choose to discuss income disparities (as highlighted through the gini coefficient) among select countries to highlight the differences in GDP per capita.
In your readings, try to find not only justification for why that particular variable is vital in explaining economic conditions, but also some drawbacks or bias on the data/statistics.
Briefly summarize the article and be prepared to discuss the article in class.
