An excellent design choice, eh?

I would be much, much happier with 100% bars divided into three segments: employed, on benefits, and inactive.

Re: Youth unemployment (none / 1)

Actually what would be interesting is to have employed, unemployed, inactive & in school, other inactive. I did a bunch of tables along those lines for a project I worked on. We even had age pyramids with school & labor market status for youth & the results where quite interesting (this was not US or European data).

Exactly. The pyramids where very informative but a lot of work to pull together and required a lot more data elements.

Any chance you can post them in a diary?

Re: Youth unemployment (none / 0)

I'll have to look into it. The work was done for a client. However, I could certainly post some samples of the methodology if not the actual data results. I'll try to get to it in the next few days.
