This visualization displays Rhode Island’s monthly unemployment rate from 1976 to 2025, sourced from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). The chart uses a temporal line graph with the observation date on the x-axis and the RIUR percentage on the y-axis. Built with D3 v7, the code loads data via `d3.csvParse` and `fetch`, then renders the visualization through the `viz` function, which updates the DOM using `select` and data joins.
