Researching Data & Statistics (Employment, Trade & Population)

In order to get a much better understanding of how Jersey stands in terms of its statistical goings-on, I decided that it would be a great idea to look into the statistical data provided by Jerseys government in terms of social factors such as employment, trade, housing and population. Having the knowledge of these factors within the local society will give me more ideas on how to approach this project and on how Jersey is linked with the rest of the world through various aspects. Overall allowing me to back up my initial concepts on how to approach the project as a whole. Here are just some visual sets of data such as graphs/tables that I came across and looked into when doing this research…

What I can quite simply conclude from the data which I have looked at is that 1. population in Jersey is rapidly increasing and is projected to continue in this way 2. Jersey is becoming more and more of a diverse and multicultural society as time goes on (connecting it even more with the world than ever) 3. Over time Jersey’s leading sectors/industries of trade have changed, but currently Jersey’s most predominant sector is the financial and legal sector which takes up 22.6% of Jersey’s economy and employment. I believe that is would also be interesting if in some of my photo-montages I could incorporate figures and statistics from these sets of data in order to give subtle meanings within some of the pieces which I produce.
