Issues with data in the college-majors repo #52

Closed rhiever closed 7 years ago

rhiever commented 9 years ago

Hi all,

I've been working with the data in the college majors repo over the weekend: https://github.com/fivethirtyeight/data/tree/master/college-majors

I think something went wrong during the data processing, since if you compare the gender-related data in recent-grads.csv and women-stem.csv, they don't match up. recent-grads.csv also indicates that 56% of all computer science majors are female, which is way off.

I'm looking into the data right now to try to find out what happened, but I'd appreciate a second look at this data set to make sure everything is in order.

Cheers, Randy
