Develop a research question springing from a dilemma in your organization

In order to compare the National Un-employment versus California Un-employment we will be collecting data from the Department of Labor. This data will show and compare the Un-employment rate in the country and Un-employment rate in California. This information will also show the trend of Un-employment rate growth.

We will be also using the data from California Department of Finance related to National Economic forecast and California Economic Forecast. This will provide the GDP growth of National and California in the past and the projected forecast of economy. Based on these two data sets we should be able to project the National Un-Employment and California Un-Employment.
