Came across this site today. It is operated by Socrata, a company that operates 100+ open data sites for governments, etc. Could be great to tap into. It shows all of the different locations for which they have data. https://www.opendatanetwork.com/

Attached is the file I created for NY counties, using the U.S. file as a template.

The hexmap is pretty cool. I will try to use it for a project in my course work. Lets see!

I used tableau to compare average min wage or less for a selected state and compared it to all the other states. There is a parameter which allow you to select a state and filter which allows you to select a year or multiple years for an average.

This is a very simple line chart I did in R; it is holiday counts by month and region. I have not completely figured out ggplot so the x axis is not labelled (although I did hide the nonsense that wanted to be there). Its Jan-Dec left to right.

I put together a visual on the number of unique holidays across the world. Helpful techniques used were calculated field to count the number of distinct holidays for each country and copy as crosstab, to get a subsection of the data. In the interactive Tableau dashboard you can filter to view the unique holidays for each country.

Here is a very nice TED presentation done by Hans Rosling:

I am hoping that I can create some of them in Tableau.
