   Recommendations from my coworker ( https://twitter.com/Amust1987 ): Try to read this paper. They mentioned several graph layout algorithms.I think you can also try to ask them the source code. http://www.cs.ubc.ca&

   If you need to re-generate the graph positions on every reload, the static force layout is helpful ( http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1667139 ). The code of interest is: force.start(); for (var i = n; i > 0; --i) forc

   I have added a toggle for including a second income earner into the equation/bar graph. The figure is an average of the median per capita income of four Bay Area counties - hopefully this will give better context. Also, more explicit

   Thanks darklajid! The health care costs is total insurance premiums and total out-of-pocket costs[1]. For a BART worker, it may only be upwards of $92, as they have a fixed health care contribution. For that reason, I have made the costs

    I am going to implement a simple toggle option to include a second income (which I will research into what the median/average/reasonable salary in the Bay Area to be) on the bar graph - hopefully that solves the discrepancy!

    I love it. I was just wondering how I could possibly include a second income in the graph, and your suggestion is just perfect - thank you! As for the costs, they're actually customizable - you can choose it from the dropdown. I will

    I took the cost of living from Economic Policy Institute's Family Budget Calculator, and their documentation [1] is particularly interesting to sift through. In particular, the child care costs are apparently broken down like this: One

    Ah yes, the cost of living figures I have gathered from http://www.epi.org/resources/budget/ . In my footnotes I address that for BART employees health insurance is $92/mo, but because I wasn't so sure w

    Ah, but the fade is on purpose, because I wanted to show that while they do have a high "cost of employment", what they truly pocket annually isn't as much. For that, the most important figure is the base salary, which is a

    I think "average cost including benefits" is the important part. For me, I was concerned with finding out what the average base salary was for a union employee - and not just any union employee, but those that are affiliated with
