Assignment Steps

Select one of the following surveys as a team, from the BLS Current Employment Statistics survey (National):

  • Goods-producing Employment – CES0600000001
  • Construction Employment – CES2000000001
  • Manufacturing Employment – CES3000000001
  • Trade, Transportation, and Utilities Employment – CES4000000001
  • Retail Trade Employment – CES4200000001
  • Education and Health Services Employment – CES6500000001

Retrieve and save a Microsoft® Excel® file and the graphs to your desktop for analysis. You will have to check the “include graph” box along the top of the page to see the graph, and you will need to copy and paste the graph separately into your Microsoft® Excel® document.

Tutorial help on Excel® and PowerPoint® functions can be found on the Microsoft® office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web that offer support for office products.

Consider the following two articles, located in the Week 4 Electronic Reserve Readings, discussing actor salaries and hedge fund executives’ average salaries:

“Robert Downey Junior is Hollywood’s Highest-Paid Actor”

“In Tough Year, Hedge Fund Leaders Still Paid Well: Average Salary of $467M Was Half 2013, Report Says”

– Why do actors and actresses earn so much compared to the chosen labor group?

– Why do hedge fund executives earn so much compared to the chosen labor group?

I have attached the Excel spread sheet and I have also attached both Reports in a PDF format.

Thanks,
