In Life Literacy: Real Life Knowledge and Resources for the Next Generation to Succeed, authors Young, Soh, and Peake examine the circumstances that have lead to the most competitive job market in history, the factors that make it difficult for a business to survive, and the skills a young professional needs to succeed.
