Inspiration

I wanted to understand how the economy moves in real time, without waiting for delayed reports.

What it does

It collects public job and search trend data, analyzes them, and produces a live composite index of job market health.

How we built it

I used Python and Streamlit for the front end, combined with web scraping, Google Trends API, and statistical modeling.

Challenges we ran into

Data consistency and access limits were difficult — we had to smooth and standardize noisy public data.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I built a working prototype that turns public web data into real-time economic insight.

What we learned

I learned how to combine data engineering, visualization, and statistical logic to extract meaning from messy data.

What's next for ZacharyZhang

I plan to expand the index with more data sources like news sentiment and LinkedIn job posts.
