    Hi Jasmine, great update! I think would be nice if you included how much the employment rate has declined in the last six months in your lead. I think it would also be interesting to look at the employment rate over the last year instead of six months. Overall, great job!

    Hi Jasmine, I think you did an amazing job here, your data slice is clear to understand. I think you can compare data every year or every six months so you can show more differences among the number of changes.

    Hey Jasmine, nice choice in data set. As everyone said before it was very easy to see how your data set illustrated your lead. The only thing I would recommend is making the link for the original data set as the whole sentence rather than just the ":".

Data Visualization Analysis: Assignment 1

In all these bar charts and line graphs the data allocation has been done reasonably well with proper color schemes and points on the graphs to easily navigate the viewer. In Figure 3 with the data being so precise the data is closely packed as there is less difference. So, the use of points on the graphs helps us in understanding the data easily. But when the data is constantly changing it becomes hard to keep up with the difference at every step. Therefore, the variations in data can be highlighted more accurately because if the line graphs aren’t clicked the data isn’t shown which eventually becomes hard to understand for the readers. The division of years and months are a bit hard to differentiate as there is a constant change in every step and it cannot be tracked. The gap between 1990-1991 there have been so many changes, but the month wise segregation cannot be seen. Secondly, the use of different colors makes the data stand out and it feels more appalling for the viewers. The ...
