Analysis of Unemployment Rate by U.S. Presidential Political Party Based on Historical Data (1949 - 2016)
No full textMy research paper is an analysis of the unemployment rate by U.S. Presidential Political Party based on historical data from 1949 – 2016. Research is based on the average unemployment rate per four-year presidential term (four full calendar years). My theory was that Democrats are more effective in managing unemployment than Republicans during their respective four-year presidential terms. I used various sources focused on unemployment, political science, sociology, and economics. Exploring each of these subjects and how they affect unemployment continued to build support for my theory. Democrats and Republicans have different views when it comes to managing unemployment. When researching their political views and policies [search terms such as civil and income equality, balancing the budget, government regulations, and “Trickle-down economics”] and their effects, the pattern during this study was that Democrats (8 terms) over the course of the 68 years have proven to be more efficient in effectively managing unemployment than Republicans (9 terms), even when inheriting a high unemployment rate from a prior political party (i.e. The Great Recession from 2008 – 2009).

On a Tangent
No full textThe student was tasked with an evaluative argument. Requirements included a modality of the student\u27s choosing and four credible sources. Faissal chose to evaluate the country of Jordan\u27s financial situation, looking to see where the country received funds (externally). This interest stems from the student\u27s family ties to the country, as well as his concern for citizens\u27 lack of the ability to afford something as common as bread. The student chose to create his first podcast, something he had always wanted to do but did not have the resources to create. COD\u27s Media Lab gave the student a chance to create his first podcast. And, as you will see, the synthesis of research, critical thinking, and professional technology all lend to a strong final project.
