How recessions impact unemployment rate

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 23:08:33 GMT

In the above example, I’m using the Pulse Chart to show the impact of recessions on unemployment rate in the United States of America. It seems logical that a whenever a recession hits, unemployment would go up. But there’s something deeply engaging about seeing the unemployment rate unfold in front of your eyes and seeing exactly when the recession started and its effect on the unemployment rate.

Get the pulse chart here:

That is an impressive piece of work.

I'm very curious about how you got this to work - images at the bottom, chiclet slicer? Having the animation pause and have a control - all very cool.

Well done, congratulations.

Thanks. You can download the file in the original post so you can see how it's constructed. Also, there's a reference in my description to the Pulse chart I used for this example.

Thanks - when downloading the .zip file, it extracts to a number of files vs. just the workbook and it is not clear how to access the work. Is there a link to the actual workbook via cloud storage/dropbox/other?
