Analyze compensation of public workers in California #19

Open geminiz opened 8 years ago

geminiz commented 8 years ago

Transparent California (http://transparentcalifornia.com/) provides compensation of public workers within the state (county/city/state/school districts/etc). It can also export data in CSV file. For example, the 2013 compensation for City of Bell is captured here (http://transparentcalifornia.com/export/bell-2013.csv). While the site contains a nice search engine, it lacks any analytic ability.

What would be interesting is to compare the salary of a given position among different cities (average, increase, bonus). Highlight deviation such as abnormal increase/bonus/overtime. This can be done with a Python script.

Is there any objections if I try do to this project? It can take a while because I haven't a lot of free time.

I will take care about. I don't need any help, moreover I prefer to make it alone to be able make end-to-end project. I am going to create separate repo soon and will keep it on track.

Go for it, @Max-Hab! Are you going to create your separate repo within the Code for San Jose organization? That would be ideal so we can include it as one of our Code for San Jose projects.

Max-Hab commented 8 years ago

Link to the repository https://github.com/codeforsanjose/transparentCA It has been just created, I will continue work on it.

Hi @Max-Hab - awesome!

If you care, I think there's a typo in your repo name "tranparentCA" --- should be "transparentCA".
