lab 6 part 1

 For this portion of Lab 6 I learned how to use and create meaningful legends for proportional data. Below is a map I created of the USA showing different states increase or decrease in employment.

To achieve this map I had to do some data manipulation. I first had to separate the jobs that decrease and the jobs that increase. I had to do this because negative numbers are not allowed to be used in proportional symbology. I then use proportional symbology for my newly created layers and match the classes to each other. I then had to create the legend by converting the legend made by ArcPro into graphics. For my legend I wanted to have a legend similar to the example in the lab. To achieve this legend I first added all of my symbology, matching the circle sizes by creating 4 classes for my jobs lost group and 5 for my jobs gained group. I then made my minimum the same for both layers. For my symbology I used the Jobs gained layer and changed the circles to no color fill and a black outline. After I changed my symbology back to the green color I wanted it to be. I then used the graphic to nest the circles within each other as I did previously in this lab
