Question 4 • FL-1700380-Career Research and Decision Making

Which best explains why Civil Engineers who work for a major city in California care about a budget debate at the state level?

Answer

They are employed by a local government that receives its funding to pay employees from the state.

They are employed by a private company that receives its funding through government contracts.

They are self-employed, and the politicians are considering income tax changes that would affect their salaries.

They are self-employed as consultants for a nonprofit that applies for funding through government grant programs.

Explanation

Civil engineers working for a city are public employees of a local government, not employees of a private company or self-employed consultants. A state budget debate can affect state funding that the city relies on, which may influence its ability to pay employees and provide services. So the best choice is that they work for a local government that receives funding from the state.
