| findable_steps | Went to the Ghana Statistical services website and looked for specific datasets - GDP, population, unemployment etc. | Finding data on unemployment was particularly hard as this is not made stand alone but infused with employment data and so one need to search through about five or more datasets on employment status to get information on un-employment. |
