INTRODUCTION: The work you will do in this data exercise closely mirrors the work that is done by economists in understanding the state of our economy. While many more factors are normally included in this type of research, this exercise will give you just a taste of the type of analysis that goes into discernment of our economic situation. You should reserve a chunk of time for this work, as it may not be that easy to construct and analyze the data, but with efforts and a careful approach, most of you will be highly successful in doing so.
INSTRUCTIONS: Follow these instructions carefully and make sure to answer all FIVE of the requisite questions. You will be graded both on your answers to the questions as well as your data construction. See grading rubric for more information.
