This course is a data-driven exploration of low-wage labor markets providing students with the skills to work independently on a major project of their own design. In the first half of the course, students will be introduced to several data sets including the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, the Current Population Survey, and the National Longitudinal Studies of Young Men and Women. During that time, students will also be introduced to useful resources for exploring research topics and will begin to craft research questions.
