Math on the Job

This series of booklets were designed as part of a career awareness program for learning disabled adults. They are written at a very basic reading  level. However, they outline very clearly what math skills would be needed to succeed a vocation. In comparison to the above resources, they show how math is used in non-academic professions for non-math majors.
