Pecha Kucha Project

The speaker discusses the Petra Kucha project, aiming to understand generational wealth and employment trends among Puerto Rican families in Worcester County. They highlight the reasons for Puerto Rican migration to the mainland in the 1920s-1950s, such as natural disasters and historical events. They present data visualizations on employment and household income, using ACS variables. The speaker acknowledges the limitations of the project and emphasizes the importance of research to gain a better understanding of different cultures and minorities. They express interest in future research on historical graphs and the wage gap among various ethnic groups. Welcome, amazing people of Worcester County. Coming to you live by Gideon Vasquez. Here is my interpretation of the Petra Kucha project. I hope you'll enjoy. I wanted to solve two questions for today. One being, how much generational wealth do Puerto Rican families make or have? And for number two, what are the employment trends within a county? As I believe this will be able to illustrate my point the best. You will see it later. Number three, Puerto Rican migrants began to show up to the mainland during the 1920s through the 1950s. Mostly due to how natural disasters swept through Puerto Rico during those times. World War II, the Great Depression, and much more. Why I wanted to learn this topic was due to the limited information about this topic along with my own general curiosity. As I wanted to be able to figure this out. Given what the multiple tools that I was providing through this class. Thank you all very much. Experts approached my topic with explaining the various push and pull factors such as opportunity of better living, a second chance, political asylum, and a restart of life. Here I picked places to illustrate what I'm looking at and why I want to look at it. Number six, ethnic transformations in late 20th century Florida and by Molo, along with another primary source of Puerto Rican migration to the U.S. done by Samantha Gibson. Shows in details why Puerto Rican families migrated to America. They discussed how and why Puerto Ricans came to America. The ACS variable that I had chosen were employment records, ESR, and ancestry for my first data visualization. And for my second visualization, decade of entry and the average of household incomes. And I believe this will be able to help me the best. The first data visualization, I know the consensus about pie charts. Yet, I believe it shows my case personally as it does include show employment and Beaver County. Here you're able to witness 6.2% of Puerto Rican members are able to work while 93.3% are non-Puerto Ricans. How does it help is to help ground all the research that I found and to show my work to you all as a way to help you all understand what's going on. The second data visualization is the average household income of Puerto Rican families versus other Latino families in Beaver County. Here my graphs go from 1950 all the way to 1910 as that was the latest information it was able to give me. And they illustrate 1935 and 1945. And the way it helps is to help further ground my points and help me further understand what is going on. Here is some cute little GIF and a cute little thing I made. Hope you all like that. The way this helps is due to how it illustrates all the research that I have picked and found all throughout this. As it helps us understand the generation of wealth while also the employment trend that is found within a county known for its migrants. The limitation of my ACS variables is that it was a problem having to visualize everything. Due to the wide span of numbers and how long everything was, it became so much harder to make it accurate and varied on the best that I possibly could make. The insight that I was given was how much we didn't understand about our world and how much I hope this was able to help out in wanting to understand more. My conclusions on how this research is important is that I understand that one culture, generation of wealth, is a way of showing how much they've gone through. This is a testament of how well they've been doing and how amazing they have done. My ideas for future historical research is wanting to look at historical graphs and the wage gap that is depicted between all different cultures and different minorities such as white, black, African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Latinos. I hope you'll enjoy my petrification project.
