This is the final product of a group project in my Data Science class. We were looking into where the city of Philadelphia invests most into for its government related jobs.

1. Most Invested Philadelphia
Government Jobs

2. Scenario
People who are considering Philadelphia as a place to live & work want to know what services that are
most valued by the city government.
Many citizens desire to apply for high-paid jobs with City of Philadelphia, and they want to know which
department and position is better to apply for.
The big questions:
Which department that was invested in the most by the Philadelphia city government?
Which positions (from which department) get paid the highest income collectively and why?
=> Figure out the city government pay for each department => its priorities
=> Easier for people to make their own judgement call whether the Philadelphia city government values
the same things that they also value or not => make decision
=> Good for job searching

3. Data description
- Most frequently used column that contributed to the data findings was annual
salary.
- 4 out of 7 overall columns on the excel data spreadsheet were used (Annual
salary, overtime gross, department, title)
- Document was available through OpenDataPhilly, downloaded through excel

4. Combined Total Annual Salaries (Department)
Units: US
Dollars ($)

5. Analysis
● Police Dept.’s Combined Annual Salary
○ Almost 2x (Fire Dept. + Common Pleas Court)
○ Next 4 departments = Police Dept.
● Top 5 Departments
○ 3 out of 5 enforce laws

6. Combined Annual Salary and Overtime Pay (Jobs)
Units: US
Dollars ($)

7. Top 10 Annual Salary and Overtime Pay (Jobs)
Units: US
Dollars ($)

8. (W/out Top 10) Annual Salary and Overtime Pay (Jobs) Units: US
Dollars ($)

9. Analysis
● 3 of the top 5 jobs, collectively, receiving the most annual
pay are within the police force
● 3 of the top 5 jobs making the most income for overtime
work, collectively, are within the police force
● 2 of the top 6 jobs, collectively, receiving the most annual
pay are within the firefighting department
● 2 of the top 5 jobs making the most income for overtime
work, collectively, are within the firefighting department

10. Analysis
● This information from the scatterplot shows why police
officers and firefighters make the most money,
collectively, in our original heatmap
● Mass of bubbles
○ Little investment
○ Few people with those jobs

11. What We Learned...
- Collectively, the Philadelphia Government pays out more
to its police department annually than any other
department
- Collectively, firefighters and police officers make the most
annual overtime income (hours and wages may differ)
- The Philadelphia Government pays out almost $800
million just to its police, firefighters, and common court
pleas departments
