Visualing Earnings on College Majors

This is a project carried out during my Data Analysis course on DataQuest

I worked with a dataset on the job outcomes of students who graduated from college between 2010 and 2012. The original data on job outcomes was released by American Community Survey, which conducts surveys and aggregates the data. FiveThirtyEight cleaned the dataset and released it on their Github repo.

Each row in the dataset represents a different major in college and contains information on gender diversity, employment rates, median salaries, and more. Here are some of the columns in the dataset:

Rank - Rank by median earnings (the dataset is ordered by this column).
Major_code - Major code.
Major - Major description.
Major_category - Category of major.
Total - Total number of people with major.
Sample_size - Sample size (unweighted) of full-time.
Men - Male graduates.
Women - Female graduates.
ShareWomen - Women as share of total.
Employed - Number employed.
Median - Median salary of full-time, year-round workers.
Low_wage_jobs - Number in low-wage service jobs.
Full_time - Number employed 35 hours or more.
Part_time - Number employed less than 35 hours.
