    On Monday I read, in print, part of a page one article in the Times. I ran out of times given the whole new royal baby coverage, and opted to read the rest digitally. Originally, this was just for my own enjoyment as there were no graphics in the article. But this one appeared online.…

  • New York Is Still Beating London

    So two weeks ago I posted about the graphics in a BBC article about how London has surpassed New York in terms of murders, due to a spate of stabbings in the British capital. Well, somehow I missed this: an article from the Economist that rebuts that point. And it does it brilliantly. Lies, damned…

  • Deaths in America

    Yesterday was murders in London and New York. Today, we have a nice article from FiveThirtyEight about deaths more broadly in America. If you recall, my point yesterday was that not all graphics need to be full column width. And this article takes that approach—some graphics are full width whereas others are not. This screenshot…

    I work with economists. And so I get to see working papers and other technical papers on a rather frequent basis. But I still have no way of verifying this premise. Though I most certainly believe in that dip… Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.

    I laughed aloud when I read this. So I am just going to leave it here. Happy Friday, all. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.

    I know I’ve looked at the Times a few times this week, but before we get too far into the next week, I did want to show what they printed on Saturday. It is not too often we get treated to data on the front page or even the section pages. But last Saturday we…

    Last week I covered the Pennsylvania congressional district map changes quite a bit. Consequently I was not able to share a few good pieces of work. Let’s hope nothing goes terribly wrong this week and maybe we can catch up. From last Friday we have this nice piece from FiveThirtyEight looking at the spread of influenza…

    One week ago today, President Trump touted soaring stock prices as an indicator of a roaring economy. In truth, stock market prices are not that. They are driven by fundamentals, such as GDP growth, wage increases, and inflation. Furthermore stock prices can be fickle and volatile. Whereas a recession does not begin overnight, the factors…

    This has been the story of my week. So what a great piece to find on Indexed. Credit for the piece goes to Jessica Hagy.

    Well there was a lot to poke and prod at in last night’s State of the Union. So over the next couple of days I will be looking at some of the data. I wanted to start with something I could look at over breakfast—unemployment rate data. President Trump claimed unemployment rates are at the…
