Unemployment rate is the number of unemployed persons as a percent of the labor force. The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces industry estimates of nonfarm payroll employment as part of the Current Population Survey. Employment data are seasonally adjusted to remove the effects of normal seasonal variation.

Definition of Unemployment Rate :

Labour force data are restricted to people 16 years of age and older, who currently reside in 1 of the 50 states or the District of Columbia, who do not reside in institutions (e.g., penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces."

This dataset contains non-seasonally adjusted California Unemployment Rate by age groups, from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The age group ranges are as follows; 16-19 ; 20 - 24; 25 - 34; 35 - 44; 45 - 54; 55 -64; 65+. This data is based on a 12-month moving average.

This dataset is invaluable for data science applications due to its granularity and the historical depth it offers. With detailed monthly data on unemployment rates by age groups, data scientists can perform a myriad of analyses:

• Time Series Analysis: Analyzing trends over time to forecast future unemployment rates or identify cyclic patterns.
• Demographic Analysis: Understanding which age groups are most affected by unemployment and how this changes through economic conditions.
• Geographic Analysis: Although the dataset currently focuses on California, if similar data is available for other regions, comparisons can be made to understand regional economic differences.

The dataset can also be merged with other socioeconomic indicators like GDP, education levels, and industry growth metrics to examine broader economic narratives or policy impacts.
