Evaluating Two Articles
[edit]Unemployment in the Untied States
I'm interested in contributing to Demographics and employment trends, Causes of unemployment, and solutions for creating more U.S. jobs. The causes of unemployment section has listed some causes with a brief description of each, but there is mainly the reference to the main article. This article is a bit more substantial so I don't know if it would be as easy to move that information within this article.
The topics within trends are substantial, but there definitely needs to be more information and perhaps I can add something about job training within the education topic.
I'm excited to research more for solution for creating more U.S. jobs and am also wondering is that the only solution to unemployment. I want to confirm that the real problem is not having enough jobs, not that we don't have enough of an educated workforce or other structural issues like discrimination.

Based on the first few sources I've found and the information within them, I hope to add some information on youth unemployment and at least link the page, if not transfer the content from the page. Though there is a subsection on causes of unemployment, there is not section yet on the effects/impacts/consequences which I think would be important to add, and I didn't think of it before finding on article about it. I was disappointed that I didn't find many articles on job training, but I did find one covering a couple examples of federally funded job creation programs which I can add.
Grammatically, there is not much wrong with this page. The link that redirect to other articles work as well. I am unfamiliar with the neoclassical explanation and non-neoclassical approach to employment discrimination, but it would be nice to have some consistency and keep the term explanation or approach for both. Also the critiques of the neoclassical approach should be moved as a sub section under neoclassical approach. If there is a critique for one approach, there should be a critique for the other to keep it unbiased.
Under U.S. discrimination laws, it would be convenient if there was also just a list of all the laws that have the wiki article linked to them like the Protected Categories section.
It's interesting that discrimination is split by region but there are only Europe and North America subsections. I'm not sure if it's worth adding other regions or restructuring it so that the major comparison is not between regions, but between government structures like a welfare state.
Ethnicity, gender, age, and criminal records are fine subsections. Perhaps immigrant/foreign born could be added. The sections definitely need more information and detail though. There is a reference to the main article: Employment discrimination against persons with criminal records in the United States which is a small article so it might be worth to move that information within employment discrimination and just delete that page Jasmine.tsui (talk) 09:01, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
I have found a good list of anti-discrimination laws that I can add to the subsection that currently only consists of affirmative action and minimum wage. The article I found highlighted key sections within the laws and acts which I can summarize. With the article on causes of employment discrimination, I hope to create a section for that or sort them into the neo-classical explanation and non neo-classical explanation sections. I am still unclear about those sections and will have to edit those to make it more comprehensible. I've found articles on gender and race employment discrimination, so I will be adding to those subsections under the U.S. section so there will be more than just statistics and studies. I still am on the lookout for more articles on incarceration and immigrants or ESL individuals.Jasmine.tsui (talk) 08:37, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Bibliography
[edit]This source is a list of employment discrimination laws with key sections of the law or act outlined under. This would be perfect for the section I plan on making where I list all the laws as a timeline with the corresponding article linked.[1]
This source explains some sociological and psychological causes of employment discrimination. It also includes some solutions or suggestions on how to prevent or mitigate the effects of employment discrimination. The page currently has no section on potential causes or solutions to the issue. This article gives me a starting point for how to organize those sections I will create, and from there I can do further research on the specified proposals.[2]
This source discusses gender and race employment discrimination. It includes some history, the applications of some laws, and even introduces concepts such as feminist theory and social class when explaining discrimination. As of right now, the article's section on gender is a couple sentences filed with statistics and it's section on race is results of one study. The page could really benefit from a source like this where the content is less statistics and studies, and more theoretical. [3]
Unemployment in the United States
This source discusses youth unemployment- causes, consequences, and policies that could address it. I stumbled upon this article and wasn't aware youth unemployment was its own unique issue. With this source, I can create that section within the Wiki article and add the information from the source and link the page Youth Unemployment or transfer the contents of the page. [4]
This source examine the private and social costs of unemployment, clearly outlining why the study of it is important. "First, by measuring the private costs of unemployment that are borne by the unemployed themselves, we can better understand why our unemployment rate is so high. Second, by examining the social costs of unemployment (i.e., the costs of unemployment to the nation as a whole regardless of how they are distributed), we can better decide when the benefits of a reduction in unemployment outweigh the costs of achieving it." By private, the author refers to the cost of being unemployed on an individual basis financially. By social, the author refers to a broader view of unemployment on a larger scale- opportunity costs of people returning to work and the unemployment policies behind it. [5]
This source includes a brief couple paragraphs on structural unemployment and mainly focuses on describing two job creation programs in the UK and Western Isles. It also lists out some helpful questions to ask when evaluating the success of job training programs. There is no section on government implemented job creation programs within the Solutions for creating more U.S. jobs section and I could add it using these two examples.

Bori's feedback
Hi Jasmine, nice work bringing in a lot more levels of organization to this page! Very informative. Will you be adding more to the subsection called Adequate Funding? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellamelodia (talk • contribs) 19:06, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
