Hello Readers,

Today, I am excited to share with you a unique exploration of global economic indicators. We often hear about GDP per capita and unemployment rates in various news outlets and economic discussions. These two metrics are commonly used to measure a country’s economic prosperity and the health of its labor market. But, have you ever wondered about the relationship between them?

In my latest project for my Data Visualization & Communication course, I’ve delved deep into this topic. Using the World Development Indicators dataset provided by the World Bank, I’ve constructed a comprehensive data visualization that probes the relationship between GDP per capita and the unemployment rate.

But why focus on these two indicators? Well, they provide a snapshot of a nation’s economic status and its labor market health. Understanding their relationship can offer valuable insights for policy makers, economists, and the public alike.

The goal of this project is not just to present data, but to tell a story through it. By visualizing this data, we can make more sense of what these economic indicators mean and how they interact.
