Programming Project #7: Was Clinton Right?

Former President Bill Clinton said in his speech to theDemocratic National Convention in Charlotte in 2012:

“Since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held theWhite House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, ourprivate economy has produced 66 million private-sector jobs. Sowhat’s the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42(million).”

In the packed convention hall, it was one of the night’s biggestapplause lines.

Did he have his facts right? Your project is to convince thegrader whether Clinton was right or wrong.

We provide you a formatted copy of the fileBLS_private.csv, which is adownload from the from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov).Data in the file are in thousands. Clinton probably got his datafrom an article on bloomberg.com(http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-08/private-jobs-increase-more-with-democrats-in-white-house.html(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) that is nolonger publicly available as far as we can tell. Bloomberg’s writergot their data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) at theU.S. Department of Labor—the definitive, non-partisan source ofjobs data. In the quote above you can see that he refers to privateemployment data, presumably “seasonally adjusted”. The data can befound at http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?ce (Links to anexternal site.)Links to an external site.if you check the box“Total Private Employment.” You then need to select the yearsstarting in 1961. The result is an MS Excel file that can be savedin comma-separated values format (csv). You should verify that weare providing you the correct data.

You need data on the presidents in the specified time period sothat you can check Clinton’s statement. What data do you need? Partof your task is to figure out what data you need. You will have toresearch the presidents to gather data and store it in a file thatyou create called presidents.txt. Yourpresidents.txt file cannot have any jobsdata in it—all jobs data must come from theBLS_private.csv file. Yourpresidents.txt file will simply be a file of wordsand numbers that you can create using a simple text editor.

Your task is to analyze and synthesize the input from theBLS_private.csv and yourpresidents.txt file to see if you can verify ordiscredit Clinton’s statement.

There are a number of implicit challenges such as ‘What doesClinton mean by “produced”?’ and other ideas open forinterpretation.

You may ask what output we expect from your program. That ispurposefully unspecified–you decide what is the most effective wayto make your point. You need sufficient output to show that YOUhave verified or discredited Clinton’s assertion. Simply saying“verified” (or not) is not sufficient: justify your assertion.Simply quoting other articles will earn you 0points, regardless of effort.  Your code, yourcomments, and your output need to convince the grader that *YOU*solved the problem with understandable code that answered thequestion being asked.
