The Best Charts of 2019

I’ve collected some of the most liked Chartstravaganza of 2019 to see what they say of the past year (and years.) I’ll publish around 20 each day this week … I hope you like them.

We wil continue with Economics

For other cool charts in this series …

The Best of Finance

The recovery from the Great Financial Crisis is in the past … for most

(@FT)

The American recovery has been particularly slow and long … and continues

(@WSJ)

And USA housing markets are well below their bubble peaks

(@CityLab)

And recovering from low participation rates with inflation under control … for the moment

(@nytimes)

USA growth hasn’t been been kind with labor lately

(@Pedro_DeCastro)

And its middle class is not what it used to be

(@FT)

But inequality is also about taxes

(@MaxCRoser)

Since taxes have not been kind with labor either

(@Pedro_DeCastro)

Some particularly friendly countries have pushed a race to the bottom in corporate tax rates

(@taxfoundation)

Those particularly friendly countries

(@WSJ)

So the reduction in corporate tax rates is a global issue

(@taxfoundation)

Not to mention the impact of recent late-cycle tax cuts

(@LizAnnSonders)

The American labor market has changed dramatically

(@VisualCap)

With higher education requirements to keep up and the entry of women in the salaried labor force

(@erikbryn)

And these disparities in wages are also contributing to unequal outcomes

(@simongerman600)

And the minimum wage in America hasn’t kept up with these challenges

(@voxdotcom)

And being near full employment, there are early signs of restlessness in the job market

(@StatistaCharts)

And three charts that don’t fit in a narrative:

1. Income distribution by state

(@VisualCap)

2. Farm Subsidies

(@rwwilmington)

3. Cases of Hyperinflation

(@steve_hanke)

And that’s it, more tomorrow.
