Data Literacy: The Composition Effect

OVERVIEW
This lesson focuses on the composition effect. Students evaluate unemployment data from different racial and ethnic groups to determine how accurately the national rate of unemployment describes the labor market experiences of different groups of workers. This lesson is part of the Data Literacy series, which was created to help university and other faculty members teach students how to reliably identify, interpret, and communicate data.
