		SPECIALIZATION

		People SPECIALIZE when they produce only some of the goods and services they consume, then trade with others to get more of the things they want. Specialization increases the amount of goods and services that people produce and consume. Examples: Different community workers specialize in the jobs they do. People also specialize when they divide the labor on an assembly line or in an office.
