| > Using training data to predict unemployment claims in the State of Indiana! | ||
|
|
||
| COVID-19 has impacted citizens significantly. Many employers and industries had a hard time retaining employees and patrons as people stayed away from eating out and were required to work from home given the risk of virus spread inside closed buildings. As additional restrictions were either lifted or reimplemented and citizens got vaccinated, governments and corporations needed to understand how much and where people were most economically impacted. An increase in the number of unemployment claims can indicate emerging trends in economic activity. Thus, in this training, your task is to predict the unemployment claims in Indiana in order to understand the COVID-19 impact and risk. We preprocessed very large, actual, and granular datasets from our partners. You will use this data to develop a predictive statistical model and communicate the results using data charts and maps. You will make two predictions over the duration of the training. With such predictions, you have the unique opportunity to help the state and leaders to use the outcome of your models and visualizations to monitor and predict economic impact. |
