- malfist 2y agoThis really needs more than just a time axis, it's impossible to know what it's trying to tell you. Does a higher bar mean more applications? More jobs? Less jobs? Can't understand it at all
- lukan 2y agoThat is an interesting graphic. Maybe one cannot use it to say things about the global economy, but definitely about the software economy (in the western hemisphere).
- nomilk 2y agoJust commenting to say that is awesome (both idea and execution).
- handzhiev 2y agoThanks for doing this! I'm a bit confused by the readme: "This script outputs how many job seekers there are vs how many jobs." Isn't it actually showing the ratio of jobs / job seekers? It does seem so by the chart and the code but the text makes it sound the opposite. (Or is it my wrong reading?)
- xnx 2y ago"vs" doesn't specify any numerator/denominator relationship, just that two things are being compared.
- withinboredom 2y agoIt would help to explain what the axis is. Is higher more seekers or more jobs?
- BillFranklin 2y agoHigher is more jobs
- CRConrad 2y agoSo what units does it show? Are, say, those two little green blocks down on the lower right (May this year?) two jobs more than seekers? Two percent more jobs? Two times...? Without that, it still says pretty much nothing.
- dexwiz 2y agoI commented on this when you initially posted it, but you really need a Y axis for this graph. Also if its a ratio, which way is it? A double bar or double line chart would probably be easier to interpret.
- appplication 2y agoI don’t mean to be rude but honestly the graphic is entirely uninterpretable. No labels, no explanation. I can’t make sense of it.
- m0wer 2y agoVery cool!
