CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Business education has an important role to play in the
vocational guidance of youth because of the high proportion
of high school graduates who go into business occupations.
As of i960, approximately one out of four of the gainfully
employed was engaged in some form of business
The largest white-collar occupation is still
the clerical group. Fumberuaij nearly 10 million
today, it is expected that this group will grow
to Ik million by 1975• Almost half again as many
persons will be earning their livings as clerical
workers in 1975 as compared with the number doing
this type of work today.
Every young person, regardless of the size of his school
and community, is entitled to the opportunity of becoming
competent in the vocational and economic fields of today.
Because the levels of work in modern businesses are so varied,
most young people in high school can be prepared for one of
these levels If the school is alert to the local situation and
is prepared to adjust traditional patterns to new needs.^
