FINAL DRAFT
Rubin, Ben Fox. “After Fleeing New York, Amazon Finds Warmer Welcome for Other HQ2.” CNET, CNET, 8 Apr. 2019, www.cnet.com/news/after-fleeing-new-york-amazon-finds-warmer-welcome-for-other-hq2/.
This article was written by Ben Rubin, a senior reporter at CNET News in Manhattan, he has written at length for CNET on Amazon and general e-commerce. In this particular article he is explaining that Amazon has chosen Virginia solely for its new headquarters rather than splitting it up between New York and Virginia, along with what potential ramifications that might have for Virginia. I think this is an excellent source, in accurately describing why Amazon had moved its location and describing the effects this might have on Virginia especially the larger effects of the company moving to Virginia. Particularly the concerns of potentially forcing residents out by rising the housing costs of the area. The author has used mainly interviews with several residents to provide context for the company's move and why some people in the Virginia area are wary of Amazon coming to the state. The article is mainly expanding an already established thought, the concerns of the Virginia residents that Amazon would negatively impact the lower income residents of the area. Giving some context for the protests in New York as well. I believe this, overall, is a good source for me. It will provide some basic context for my overall research, and as well explain that the concerns of people being forced out can be mitigated if there are people trained and wanting to work in industries that can properly pay them so that can afford to live in the area. .

This source is written and published by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Generally speaking, the federal government can be trusted on statistics. This source goes though job openings related to the STEM field, predicted openings through 2024, education requirements for STEM careers and general information related to the growth of STEM careers in the country. It also explains that, on average, STEM careers had higher than national average salaries. I think this is an important source for me to use in my project. It explains the need for more STEM trained individuals, as well as a higher standard of education required for the field. And this combined with the fact that Amazon is going to set up operations in the area, the thousands of jobs needed at Amazon itself, and in the surrounding area explains the need to further improve and expand upon the already established program at Fairfax County Public Schools for this kind of education. The strategies used in this source are almost exclusively graphs. Using a lot of statistics and graphs, the authors convey a real sense of expansion in the STEM field. This source is mostly condensing a lot of research into the topic of STEM growth in the US into a single neat presentation type project. This source will be used in conjunction with a couple other ones to explain the need for a further expanded STEM teaching program at Fairfax County Schools. This source is excellent, it explains everything that I need to convince anyone that further resources are needed in the academy at Fairfax County.

Unfortunately, I do now know enough about the authors to describe their credibility in writing this infographic. Although they are writing for the University of Cincinnati, so they can be assumed to have some good credentials. This source has a number of graphs that discuss unemployment in the STEM field, number of degrees awarded in the US vs China, and a few helpful ideas to integrate STEM education in the K-12 classroom. I believe the two authors are trying to convey a sense of urgency in the graphic. They are trying to explain how the US is falling behind other countries in STEM related education. They are also attempting to show that it is possible for the US to rise on the education ranks by introducing STEM education at an earlier age. Their purposes are achieved by using some graphs to visualize the information they are putting in front of you. I think this source is trying to discuss something that is not really talked about often when people are discussing STEM education. the importance of early interest in STEM education. Most of the talk seems to be around how a a college degree is important, not how the interest in getting said degree can be started at an early age. I believe this source can be used in conjunction with the labor statics source and accentuate the fact that the STEM field is growing and in order to fulfill all the jobs needed, early interest in the field would be of great help in getting kids prepared for a career. Overall, I believe this to be a good source, it has some new information for me, helpful graphs, and even a few tips on how to start the process in a classroom.

This article was written by two members of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, as with my other source, I believe the federal government can be trusted well enough to write with some authority on my subject. This source is discussing whether there is a shortage or surplus of STEM educated people in the US. They are going through the various fields related to STEM and analyzing whether or not there is a too few people qualified, or too many people qualified to fill the needed roles. This source is using a few different methods to convey information. There is plenty of text explaining the issue, a few different graphs with relevant information and a metaphor explaining the relationship between employers and potential employees in the STEM field. This source is trying to explain whether or not there is a surplus or shortage in a given field relating to STEM careers, it is expanding on the research into the rise of STEM careers by trying to find exactly which fields are growing and which might be stagnating. This source would “talk” to my other BLS source, by narrowing down which fields are expanding, and which are not therefore giving me a good understanding of which fields would need to be focused on in my CRQ. I believe this is a good source. It helps me focus my research into the fields specifically in need of positions filled.
