Overview
This dataset, titled "LinkedIn's 2023-24 US Math Teacher Jobs 📐🚀", presents a curated collection of math teacher job listings across the United States, as sourced from LinkedIn during the latter part of 2023 up to February 2024. It offers a unique snapshot of the educational job market, specifically focusing on opportunities in math education. This compilation serves not only as a resource for job seekers but also as a rich dataset for data scientists interested in labor market trends, educational job dynamics, and the burgeoning demand for math educators in the digital age.
Data Science Applications
As a moderate-sized dataset, it strikes a balance between comprehensiveness and manageability, making it ideal for a wide range of data science projects. Its raw form, complete with missing values and unprocessed columns, provides an excellent opportunity for data cleaning practice, honing skills that are pivotal in the initial stages of data analysis. Beyond cleaning, the dataset is ripe for exploratory data analysis (EDA), trend identification, geographic distribution mapping, and temporal analysis of job posting frequencies.
