Release:
Minimum Wage
Units:
Dollars per Hour, Not Seasonally Adjusted
Frequency:
Anuual
Available Through:

Suggested Treatment:
The data shows auto correlation and seasonality. The data should be differenced and seasonally adjusted.
Grain Transformation:
Data is unable to be distributed by time or geography. The roll up method used is Weighted Average.
Data shows auto correlation indicating a need for differencing
The ACF indicates 1 order differencing is appropriate.
Following first order differencing, no further differencing is required based on the differenced ACF at lag one of -0.18
The Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test, KPSS Trend = 0.16 p-value = 0.04 indicates that the data is not stationary.
The Shapiro-Wilk test returned W = 0.95 with a p-value =0.61 indicating the data follows a normal distribution.
A skewness score of 0.18 indicates the data are fairly symmetrical.
Hartigan's dip test score of 0.07 with a p-value of 0.93 inidcates the data is unimodal
