Distribution

The dataset is provided as a CSV file named employment_to_population_1979_to_2022.csv, with a file size of 29.11 kB. It contains 44 records, representing yearly data points.

Usage

This dataset is ideal for:
  • Analysing how employment levels compare to the total population, and how this relates to factors like education, gender, race, and age groups.
  • Investigating employment changes over time for specific demographic groups, such as women, different age groups, and various races or ethnicities.
  • Exploring connections between the employment-to-population ratio and macroeconomic indicators like GDP growth or unemployment rates.
  • Determining the impact of education levels on employment rates across different racial and ethnic groups.
  • Studying the behaviour of employment rates during economic downturns (recessions) and periods of growth.
  • Developing predictive models for future employment trends.
