Create a minimum 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation, including detailed speaker notes, in which you analyze your choice of one the following markets or industries:
· The housing market
· Financial markets
· Commodity and stock markets
An industry of your choice, such as the automobile industry, the airline industry, retail trade, or any other major industry that suffered heavy losses during the Great Recession
Your analysis will extend from the beginning of the Great Recession, which was December 2007, to the present and should include the following:
An Excel workbook with the following datasets:
One dataset related to the U.S. housing industry such as housing starts, the FHFA housing price index, or another dataset of your choice related to the housing market.
One dataset related to personal or household income or to personal or household saving.
One dataset related to the labor market such as the unemployment rate, initial claims for unemployment insurance, or another dataset of your choice related to the U.S. labor force.
