2. Describe the dataset. What kind of data does it contain? 

This dataset has been taken from Stats Canada(Statistics Canada) and shows us the Unemployment rate, participation rate and employment rate for students that could be full-time or part time and non-students. You can customize the data of these tables according to the province, labour force characteristics which include employed, unemployed and the one's participated. Age group is sectioned out from 15-24 years and 15-29 years. The reference or time  period as be drawn back to the year 1976.

3. Is there anything about your data that you don’t understand? (i.e. what a column heading means). How will you find this out?

Under the labour force characteristics , there is a section of Participation Rate, along with the unemployment and employment rate, which is a bit hard to understand. If I filter out certain sections I might be able to find this out . As it refers to the individuals that are engaged in jobs i can sort it out removing the employed or the unemployed sections.

 4. What are some questions you hope to answer with your data? List at least three. (you don’t need the answers at this point)

1.) What are the Employment rates in Canada, British Columbia specifically for full-time students?

2.) Which Province has the most percentage of women employed?

3.) How much does the employment and unemployment rate change for students during the different time of the year ?

4.) How much did the percentage in employment vary during and post covid period ?

    Hi Jasmine, I like the data you have chosen! It would be interesting to look at which province has the highest rate of employment for women and how much the rate changes for students throughout the year. I wonder why the age group only goes up till 29.

    Hi Jasmine, I like this dataset as it can relate to many students who work and study at the same time. Your last question is the most curious to know since many people lost their jobs during covid, so it will be interesting to see if it has raised an appreciate amount. Overall, an excellent analysis.

    Hey Jasmine, I like this dataset as it can show some very interesting information about how employment trends have changed, and the impact COVID-19 has had different groups. I wonder how much of an effect seasonality will have, as it is adjusted for that.

Data Visualization Analysis: Assignment 1

In all these bar charts and line graphs the data allocation has been done reasonably well with proper color schemes and points on the graphs to easily navigate the viewer. In Figure 3 with the data being so precise the data is closely packed as there is less difference. So, the use of points on the graphs helps us in understanding the data easily. But when the data is constantly changing it becomes hard to keep up with the difference at every step. Therefore, the variations in data can be highlighted more accurately because if the line graphs aren’t clicked the data isn’t shown which eventually becomes hard to understand for the readers. The division of years and months are a bit hard to differentiate as there is a constant change in every step and it cannot be tracked. The gap between 1990-1991 there have been so many changes, but the month wise segregation cannot be seen. Secondly, the use of different colors makes the data stand out and it feels more appalling for the viewers. The ...
