Explore the Jobs dataset

In this exercise, you will explore the new jobs DataFrame, which contains the unemployment rate of different industries in the USA during the years of 2000-2010. As you will see, the dataset contains time series for 16 industries and across 122 timepoints (one per month for 10 years). In general, the typical workflow of a Data Science project will involve data cleaning and exploration, so we will begin by reading in the data and checking for missing values.
