Comparing the Competing Healthcare Proposals
50 million Americans currently live without healthcare. This unfortunate statistic has driven our elected representatives to create a solution, and two competing bills have emerged. Although each bill is hundreds of pages long, the Congressional Budget Office is charged with providing accurate (and digestible) estimates on the cost of these bills. Each proposal has a trade-off: the House version offers considerable coverage, but at a high cost. The Senate version has offered a bill with low cost per capita, but with less overall coverage. We have arranged them side-by-side in the visualization below for easy comparison.

Atlanta Tableau User’s Group
Last Thursday about forty folks from industries, non-profits, academia, health services, home construction, consultants and others gathered for the inaugural Atlanta Tableau User Group (ATUG) meeting.

(The worldwide first was the UK User Group meeting in July.)
60 Years of Unemployment
With unemployment approaching the record highs of 1983, many of us are wondering how recent unemployment compares with other decades. We’ve taken the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data and created a visualization that allows a side-by-side comparison of the peaks and troughs in US employment by decade, going as far back as 1948. There are some interesting findings: forsaking the past year and a half, unemployment in the 2000's has been considerably lower than the 1990's. Highlight multiple decades to see how they compare to each other.
