Challenges

Team of data scientists faced several challenges while researching workforce development for the Law & Civic Reading and Writing Institute:

Obtaining reliable and up-to-date workforce data was difficult due to scattered sources. Handling sensitive data involving minority groups required strict privacy and ethical adherence.

Developing a bot (Twitter & Facebook) for data collection from public social media accounts needed careful compliance with platform policies. Uncovering relationships between minority groups and unions was complex, requiring the right data mining techniques.

Predicting Chicago's union unemployment rate for the next few years involved significant uncertainties. Balancing client expectations while maintaining analysis integrity was a challenge.

Crafting an understandable Tableau dashboard for non-technical stakeholders was essential. Limited time, budget, and expertise posed challenges.

Navigating labor laws, data protection regulations, and social media policies was necessary. Ensuring unbiased analysis concerning minority groups and unions was vital.

Approach

In Chicago, a team of data scientists embarked on a project: Gathered comprehensive data on workforce development, demographic, and union-related information. Using advanced techniques, they sought hidden relationships between minority groups and labor unions.

A bot retrieved public social media posts from Union Organizations on Twitter and Facebook while adhering to platform policies. Historical data and economic indicators fueled models predicting Chicago's Labor Union unemployment rate for the next 2-3 years.

Crafted a Tableau dashboard with clear charts and graphs for non-technical stakeholders. Transparent communication with the client, the Law & Civic Reading and Writing Institute, was paramount.

Maintained ethical standards, complied with labor laws, data protection, and social media policies. In analyzing minority groups and unions, they ensured a bias-free approach.

Comprehensive reports and presentations conveyed findings and recommendations. They committed to refining analysis and models as new data emerged or requirements changed. Thorough documentation of data sources, methodologies, and code ensured transparency.

This approach ensured precision and ethics in delivering valuable insights for workforce development in Chicago.
