Table_Manipulation_and_Visualizations1. Unemployment
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis publishes data about jobs in the US. Below, we've loaded
data on unemployment in the United States. There are many ways of defining unemployment, and
our dataset includes two notions of the unemployment rate:
1. Among people who are able to work and are looking for a full-time job, the percentage who
can't find a job. This is called the Non-Employment Index, or NEI.
2. Among people who are able to work and are looking for a full-time job, the percentage who
can't find any job or are only working at a part-time job. The latter group is called "Part-Time
for Economic Reasons", so the acronym for this index is NEI-PTER. (Economists are great
at marketing.)
The source of the data is here.
Question 1. The data are in a CSV file called unemployment.csv. Load that file into a table called
unemployment.
In [74]:
unemployment = Table.read_table("unemployment.csv")
