Week 7 (Group Project)

 

 Monday 10/5

For our topic, we decided to focus on Employment Rates based on level of education.

Target focus: Female losses from getting high paying job or having a family (Employment vs Family)

What stands out:

• Based off data, regardless of any education a female receives, they have a lower employment rate than males
• Conditions women work in: global gap
• harder to find jobs
• hired for lower positions
• The global labor force: 49% for women and 75% for men
• Working from home
• Struggling to balance a home/family
• 70% of women prefer to work in paid jobs regardless of their employment status
• Female college graduates have 20% fewer chance then women who just graduated high school

Story: Females are either losing out on more income or losing out on a family. Showing the decisions women have to make to have a family or better job

Visualization Goals: 

• Possibly allow user to interact to put in their information and see the results of their data.
• Show two paths/directions of what life could be when getting a higher education vs starting a family
