More charts, because sharing is fun!




So here's some more charts from SuperDataHub using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These are very easy to embed into websites and can be quite useful for whatever report or story you're trying to convey. Even the most mundane business reports can be brought to life and look more like a story if you use interactive graphics right?

First one is about full time employed persons over a period of time (year on year counted at December from 1989 till 2013). It is divided into each state for comparison and the drop down at the top allows for selection of period of hours worked - eg 0, 1-15, etc. For more information click on the 'i' button on the top right hand side of the chart:




This next one is about estimated resident populations in each state from 2001-2012




Finally, another fun one is looking at fertility assumptions over a period of time. The metadata information is important here which you can see from the 'i' information button. The ABS states that:

The population projections in this dataset are not intended as predictions or forecasts, but are illustrations of growth and change in the population that would occur if certain assumptions made about future demographic trends were to prevail over the projection period. While the assumptions are formulated on the basis of an assessment of past demographic trends, both in Australia and overseas, there is no certainty that any of the assumptions will be realised. In addition, no assessment has been made of possible future changes in non-demographic conditions. Data for 2012 are preliminary estimated resident population. Data for remaining years are projected populations. All populations are as at 30 June
