Employment-related statistics - Total Population - Labor Force - Total unemployed - Unemployment rate - Labor force participation rate 6. Use Excel to manage, collate, and clean the relevant data you've gathered online. 7. Group related macroeconomic variables on separate tabs. 8. Make a line graph to see the historical trend of each macro variable. 9. Describe the trend you observe in the graph. 10. Your grade will be based on how clean you present your data and how creative you're able to show the trends using the historical data you have gathered.
