Data Science- Exploratory data analysis of year 2017 US Employment data using R – Use Case.Use of R library's for visualization of Employment data by state, county and industry sector - simple Geo spatial data visualization of employment data

1. Data Science
Exploratory data analysis
of 2017 US Employment data
using R – Use Case
Chetan Khanzode

2. Data Source
• Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)mission is the collection, analysis, and
dissemination of essential economic information to support public and
private decision-making.
• Data from Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages for year 2017
https://www.bls.gov/
• 3.5 million rows and 38 columns

3. Data Science Process
Source: data science cook book

4. R Packages Used
• library(data.table)
• library(plyr)
• library(dplyr)
• library(stringr)
• library(ggplot2)
• library(maps)
• library(bit64)
• library(RColorBrewer)
• library(choroplethr)

5. Import the data
Use fread function from the data.table package which is significantly faster

6. Merge the data with associated codes and Titles

7. Map package data
• Purpose is to look at the geographical distribution of
wages across the US.
• Map package has US map for both at the state-and
county-levels and the data required to make the
maps can be extracted.
• Then align our employment data with the map data
so that the correct data is represented at the right
location on the map.

8. Map package data

9. Map package data
state.fips$fips <- str_pad(state.fips$fips, width=2, pad="0“,side='left')

10. Map package data

11. Merge to main dataset
Merged data sample to main data frame
