Apply your knowledge to a new dataset

1. Apply your knowledge to a new dataset

Congratulations on getting to this point! The last four chapters have taught you how to manipulate, analyze and visualize datasets containing one or more time series. Hopefully, you should now feel more comfortable taking on any time series dataset and conducting your own analysis. This last chapter will be closer to a case study. You will work with a completely new dataset containing multiple time series and will review many of the principles addressed so far.

2. The Jobs dataset

In this case study, you will explore the new jobs DataFrame, which contains the unemployment rates of U.S. workers by industry from the years of 2000 to 2010. The jobs dataset contains time series for 16 industries across a total of 122 timepoints - one per month for 10 years. In the following exercises, we will discuss the consecutive steps that should be followed in order to conduct a robust analysis and discussion of the jobs dataset. You will then be able to use this template to lead your own analysis for other projects.
