🛠️ Tools & Libraries

• Python 3.11 – Programming language
• Pandas & NumPy – Data manipulation
• Matplotlib, Seaborn & Plotly – Interactive & static visualizations
• Statsmodels & Scikit-learn – Forecasting and trend modeling
• Dash / Streamlit (Optional) – Interactive dashboards

---

🔍 Key Analyses

1. Data Cleaning & Preprocessing

   • Handle missing data, outliers, and aggregate data for analysis

2. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

   • Interactive plots using Plotly for trends, regional comparisons, and demographics

3. Time-Series Forecasting

   • Forecast future unemployment trends using ARIMA / Prophet models

from prophet import Prophet
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('unemployment_data.csv')
df_forecast = df[['Year','Unemployment Rate']].rename(columns={'Year':'ds','Unemployment Rate':'y'})

model = Prophet()
model.fit(df_forecast)
future = model.make_future_dataframe(periods=5)  # forecast next 5 years
forecast = model.predict(future)
model.plot(forecast)

4. Interactive Dashboards

   • Visualize unemployment trends by region, age, and gender
   • Explore patterns using Plotly Dash or Streamlit

5. Insights & Reporting

   • Regional disparities, demographic patterns, and future trends highlighted through interactive charts
