This project predicts Ontario's job vacancies and unemployment rates using a SARIMAX-based predictive model. The model incorporates sentiment analysis of immigration policies to enhance forecasting accuracy, achieving an 8-9% improvement. Key features include:
- Data Management: Built a relational database in PostgreSQL to store and manage labor market data.
- Visualization: Designed an interactive Tableau dashboard to analyze trends and present insights.
- Sentiment Analysis: IBM Watson was used to evaluate the impact of immigration policy changes on job markets.
- Innovation: Combines traditional statistical modelling with sentiment-driven insights for actionable predictions.
This project serves as a comprehensive approach to labor market analysis by integrating data analytics, machine learning, and sentiment analysis.
This interactive dashboard explains the various demographics of the data that was downloaded from IRCC. These visualizations were achieved after extensive cleaning.
The shading of the prediction line describes the sentiment scores related to the job market and students for the policies present in those years respectively. Darker shades indicate non-supportive or less-supportive policies and lighter shades indicate the supportive years.
Note: This sentiment analysis was performed with limitations of the Watson API and thus sentiment scores are subjective accordingly.
