The dataset chosen for this project is from American Community Survey 2010-2012 Public Use Microdata Series and can be found in the raw form at this link: https://tinyurl.com/4yx2dhpe. The data is originally from the US census, but FiveThirtyEight pulled it and did some cleanup, creating the final dataset to be used in this chapter. The links to the raw data can also be found in the previously provided URL address. The data is about college majors and there is a lot of information about earnings, employment ratio, and share of enrolled people by sex, thus containing many numbers that we can use to understand how the majors and areas are performing in the job market and in terms of unemployment rates.

All the code can be found in the book’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Wrangling-with-R/tree/main/Part2/Chapter9.
