TX salaries

[soodoku]

Texas salary data is provided here:

https://salaries.texastribune.org/agencies/

You can download data for each link. For instance, clicking on Austin brings you to:
https://salaries.texastribune.org/austin/ and you have a link to 'download this data.'

The state data is there. We need to download city, school, and university data. Combine each into city, k12, and university files. And 7zip it and upload it to relevant year folder.

Save script under scripts/tx/tx_tribune.R

is anything remaining or are we done? if done, let's close the issue! yey!

[soodoku]

if you used any scripts, push them to scripts/tx/tx_tribune.R

[tristanjkaiser]

Yup that's everything. I ended up doing it manually, which was actually quicker than writing a script would have been. Complete!

just so we are on the same page, you did a rbind on the cities etc. to create a city-year and school-year level file? thx.

[tristanjkaiser]

Ah no - the districts/unis/cities are still separated by each school/city etc. I will reopen and bind them.

[tristanjkaiser]

The data is really dirty (every file has different column names for the same thing, ie. "Annual Salary", "Annual Rt", "Rate of Pay"). What are the primary variables we are concerned with? Name, Title, and Salary?

Interesting.

1. Normalize the col. names. and 2. preserve all the information.
   The rows would just have NAs where that information is missing.
