About the group

The goal of this group is to create a map-based platform to quantify and locate entry-level jobs for each of Chicago's 77 neighborhoods, in order to boost access to local jobs and allow civic leaders to understand hyper-local economic development opportunities.

Aleena - feel free to Slack me!

Who we're looking for

This group pivoted away a bit from scraping existing sources of jobs data to creating a platform for people to post jobs in their neighborhood via partnering with local chambers of commerce.

Still working towards a basic MVP with a map and way to post jobs.

easherma commented 6 years ago

Scraping data was considered, but data quality is a concern as well as acceptable sources.
