-This data set looks at state employment rates across state counties. -Data is numeric, and the count is totaled across each county per state

I have created a few data sets for differet analytical purposes. state- cleaned data set which includes States and Totals by county state_totals- Isolated just the rows with the cumulative totals across county per state. state_numbers- Isolated rates of employment by county, with the cumulative totals across county per state removed from the data set. state_low - Isolated rates of 5 lowest employment from state data. state_high- Isolated rates of 5 highest employment from state data.

#Some questions -I have the totals, and values, but no data on causal factors -My analyses allow me to compare and contrast different elements of the data (totals, highs, lows, county) -My graphs show the highest and lowest employment rates by state for this data set.
