Answer 1

In your code info should be a dictionary, from a list of dictionaries. It's currently a string...

Anyway, your dataset is more suited for a simple csv.writer

I've changed names to a list of lists, containing all the rows, changed DictWriter to writer. Then dropped writeheader for writerow with the title. Also used writerows on the list of lists for better speed (avoids a loop):

import csv

names = [ ['kisha' ,'smith'  , 'kishasmith@gmail.com', 40000  ,  '1-1-2029'   ,'janitor' ],
         # more employees here
          ]

with open('employees.csv' , 'w', newline="") as employee_file:
     fieldnames2 = ['first' , 'last' , 'email' , 'salary' , 'DOB' , 'occupation']
     csvwriter = csv.writer(employee_file , delimiter = ',')
     csvwriter.writerow(fieldnames2)
     csvwriter.writerows(names)

Also note that you need newline="" (python 3) or your csv file will have a blank line every other line on windows.
