This week's module explored visualizing data using proportional symbols. We were tasked to create a map depicting gains and losses in the job market using proportional symbology. The dataset was split between positive and negative values, so I used two separate layers as ArcGIS cannot represent negative values properly using proportional symbols. The first layer represented job market gains, represented in blue, while the second layer showed losses, represented in red. To ensure proportional symbology worked correctly for the losses, I used the Field Calculator in the Attribute Table to convert all negative values to positive. This allowed the symbol sizes to reflect the magnitude of the losses accurately.
