U.S. Unemployment Rate

As known, unemployment is a big issue these days. I wanted to take a look at the data by State to see how things are doing across the country.
In this exercise, I made use of the API from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to get data about the unemployment rate in each State. The Python code I used to pull and manipulate data is available on github.
I'm so happy I learned how to create a tile grid map in Tableau, a very handful graph when it comes for example of political data. The Tableau file is available here.
