I used Excel to created the trend line graph and pie chart after cleaning up the data to be more clear and condensed. Items combined and finished in Adobe Illustrator. Some of the categories for the pie chart were combined/reworded to fit the infographic, but the main cause is still conveyed accurately in my opinion.

Quick note about the derailment pie chart: The majority of the reasons are categorized as “other”, but these were hundreds of reasons with little occurrences each. I included all of the major reasons as labeled amounts, and also cherry picked the vandalism statistic as that was something I thought some people were curious about. I do want to make note: vandalism is not the next lowest cause after ‘motorist deliberately caused” category, I simply wanted to make sure the percentage for that was actually shown.

Wait, I actually found it in my old notes lol. I was wrong. It was very similar, but it was life expectancy vs average income by country, and it was animated by year, where each node had a radius based on population.

Pretty close to this, but slightly different

It’s an interesting animation, but not having an easy way to see the results without manually pausing, and worse yet the final frame resetting to the beginning of the animation makes it challenging to interpret the data. It would have been really nice to have the results listed in order.

And am I missing something or should ED actually be DE?

In australia the minimum wage is a anchor point with wages set to an offset from it, meaning that the minimum for most jobs is way higher than that. Almost all jobs have a legal minimum “award” rate which is a set offset above minimum wage.

On-field workouts for the 2023 NFL Combine start today. Here is a look at the average 40-yard dash time by position over the last decade. Cornerbacks have clocked in at the fastest average time at 4.50 seconds, with wide receivers (4.51 seconds) and safeties (4.55 seconds) right behind them.

Data Source(s) and Tools:

This visualization was made by Keegan Abdoo of the NFL’s Next Gen Stats team using the ggplot and gganimate packages in R. The data source is the official measurements from the NFL combine, which we have tracked going back to 2003.

I'm not well acquainted with the data and I don't think the data presented in this graph is useful at all to understand the issue (as I discussed in other comments). So I can't say I acknowledge that it exists.

I would say this is something that needs to be addressed if it was clear that women make less than men when performing exactly the same job, out of sheer discrimination.

By looking at this data alone, there could be so many different phenomena skewing the average. It could be that women prefer professions that make less money. It could be that women have a greater chance of stopping their careers to take care of their families. If that's the case, then the gap in the average is not an issue, IMO.
