I thought the data visualization was pretty good. How would you improve it? A profession by profession table with the raw numbers would be more useful. Perhaps

  It's very hard to get a sense of how more or less likely a child is to pursue a given profession than normal. You just sort of have to eyeball the bars before and after, which tends to visually accentuate changes to common professions, even when there might be a much larger percentage change for an uncommon profession.

  It depends on what you want to convey. For example, as a layman and someone who likes structured data, I want to find out "what are the top professions for the offspring of profession X"? To me, this screams like a sorted table of some kind with a selection. The relative sized bars are cool in terms of animation but man, they are a pain to read.
