1. New York, Colorado and California have the highest minimum wage
2. Major cities have the highest wages recorded

Inference:
1. This Coronavirus pandemic will affect this data since many sports have been put on pause
2. The unemployment of athletes going to affect the economy

Question:
1. How do they pay hourly?
2.why is it that the lower employment, the higher the annual wage?

Things I found interesting:
1. The location quotient and the employment affect the annual mean wage
2. The East has the highest mean wage

1. New Jersey, California and New York have the highest minimum wage
2. South have the lowest minimum wages

Inference:
1. Low pay causes the low employment
2. I feel the larger the population of a state the more employment there is

Question:
1. How do they pay hourly for the teachers with high minimum wages?
2.why is it that the lower employment, the lower the annual wage?

Things I found interesting:
1. The higher the location quotient, the lower the employment and the lower the annual mean wage is
2. The East has the most employment

1. The North Eastern side of the country has the highest employment in this occupation
2. New York, New Jersey and Florida have the highest

Inference:
1. The unemployment of these athletes ue to the pandemic is going to affect all this recorded data.
2. The metropolitan areas are due to have more employment in this occupation

Question:
1. Why is there always a higher employment in the East?
2.Why isn't there much employment recorded in California?

Things I found interesting:
1. The major cities always have higher employment
2. The East has the highest employment

Observations: 

1. I see that more than half the states are white meaning they probably pay less than the minimum range of $36,000-$52,000. 

2. The largest states (California, Washington, Texas, etc.) pay the highest annual wage range of $78,000-$183,000.

Inferences :

1. I can infer that sports is a big deal in those big states, such as California, Texas, and Colorado because of how much the annual wage for athletes and sports competitors is.  

2. I can infer that the states in light blue paying an annual wage range of $36,000-$52,000 most likely don’t have that many sports teams. 

Questions:

1. Do more than half the states not employ athletes and sports competitors or are their annual wages just all below $36,000?

2. Why only in 6 states do athletes make $78,000-$183,110, which seems to be the highest range?

Interesting: 

1.  I don’t know anything about sports so I find it interesting that a state as small as Rhode Island has an annual wage in the second highest range of $67,000-$76,000. 

2.  I find it interesting that California isn’t the top paying state since it’s the state with the most professional sports teams. 

Observations: 

1. New York is one of the states that pays the highest annual wage range of $65,000-$83,000.

2. No states in the middle of the country pay the highest annual wage, only the ones on the east and west coast do. 

Inferences :

1. I can infer that more funding in education which includes paying the teachers is more on the coasts than the middle states. 

2. I can infer that the states with the highest annual wage have more funding in education due to having more schools to provide for. 

Questions:

1. Why do the schools in the middle states possibly not have enough funding? 

2. How come Alaska pays the highest range of annual wage of $65,000-$83,000?

Interesting: 

1. I find it interesting that Alaska is one of the states within the highest annual wage range. 

2. It’s interesting that California has the most elementary school teachers employed, 162,000, but is the third highest annual wage below Massachusetts with 30,380 employed. 

Observations: 

1. Most states on the east coast have a high employment level between 600-5,000.

2. The data is correlated to the population density in each state. 

Inferences :

1. I can infer that since California and Texas have the highest employment level, they also have the highest annual wage. (This is based just on the map and not the chart which proves this inference wrong).

2. I can infer that the states with less employment levels are due to having less elementary schools or not enough funding. 

Questions:

1. Why don’t the employment levels match the annual mean wage?

2. In a state like Texas, with a high number of employment but a lower annual wage, do the teachers get paid less or does the state in general have a lower wage?

Interesting: 

1.Texas is the second highest employment of elementary school teachers, but it doesn't pay the highest range of annual wage. 

2. Alaska is within the lowest range of employment between 600-5,000 but is within the highest range of highest annual wage.

1. Metropolitan areas for this occupation earn almost doubled compared no Nonmetropolitan areas  

2.   Texas has the lowest annual mean wage compared to its employment level.

Inferences:
1.States With a higher populations tend to pay more.
2.Education industries tend to have a higher employment rate and a higher wage set.

Questions:
1. Are colleges wages and employment for teachers  compared to  elementary school teachers ?
2. Why does Florida have a low annual mean wage and employment rate compared to other metropolitan areas ?
Interesting:
1.New York has the highest percentage of employment and highest wages.
2.Nonmetropolitan areas earn almost  half of what metropolitan areas earn. 

Observation:

1)In Employment per thousand jobs each state has and equal amount towards each other which is about 12.20-12.60

2)Georgia has the most employment 

Inferences:

1)Vermont have the highest Annual mean wage with $62,430

2)Every state has an equal hourly mean wage with 4

Question:

1)Why does Georgia have the highest Employment? 

2)Why does Vermont have the least employment? 

Observation:

1.Bridgeport stamford, Norwalk, CT is the metropolitan area w the highest location quotient. 

2.The CO metropolitan area  has a higher share of sports industry employment than average. 

Inferences: 

1.The lack of employment because of recent events ( COVID-19) will have an affect on metropolitan areas with high annual wages. 

2.The unemployment of athletes will affect the economy.

Questions: 

1.How much is their pay ? 

2.Why does the CO metropolitan area rely greatly on the sports industry?

Interesting:

1.The annual wage for those who work in the sports industry in CO is higher than a dentists annual wage.

2.Occupation is less dominant in areas to the west south

Observations:

1.      The Providence Warwick from the Metropolitan area is the least paid area compared to the other locations.

2.      Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO is the highest paid location out of all locations

Inferences:

1.      The numbers will most likely be affected negatively due to the epidemic

2.      The median wages will change during this epidemic since people are quarantined

Questions:

1.      Why doesn’t New York pay much to their athletes as Colorado?

2.      Providence-Warwick, RI-MA only has 8 in employment

1.      There are more teachers in Kingston than Los Angeles.

2.      States with higher amount of students require more teachers

Questions: 

1.      Why are some areas of NY pay their employees less than in other areas in NY?

Questions: 

1.If there’s a high annual mean wage why is their low employment ?

Interesting: 

1.Annual mean wage mean wage and location quotient correlate.
