Compared to the original graph, this chart is plotted
correctly and showcases where exactly the unemployment
rate is stable or not.
In the original chart, the last data point is not
plotted correctly and does not show a decrease in the
unemployment rate in November, making it mislead the
audience to believe the unemployment rate did not
change at that month Also, there are way too many
colors in the chart and the y-axis ticks could be
spaced further out which can distract the viewer.
Compared to the bad chart, the good chart only
features one color has a reasonable tick padding, and
does not contain that much overlap.
It is also difficult to see the axes in the bad chart
The good chart also has annotations that help point
the viewer to important data.
