Exploratory data analysis on employment in Germany

The dataset 13311-0001 of the Statistischen Bundesamts (Destatis) was choosen as the dataset of this project. It was choosen because the author is currently searching for employment and is therefore interested in insights into structures and trends of the employment market and regional distribution. The dataset differentiates between work-sektors and between Self-employed, employed and domestic employed. The dataset has a temporal scope from 1991 to 2024, so 33 years.
