I don't have a ton to say about the content of the article other than a super boring, "that was interesting." One thing that was cool is the chart labeled "Switching Rate for Different Jobs." I've never seen that style of chart before and found it really effective for sharing the data. Does anyone know what that is called?

It's a clustered bubble chart that's been ordered. Clever.

It's a bubble chart I think you can make with D3.js, (mentioned at the bottom, follow the link), something similar was used but sideways for a chart of rapers by their average number of words used per song a few years ago. (Just google rap vocabulary, you'll probably find it), it's a very cool interactive chart type.

  "rapers" Gotta watch that spelling. You don't want to accuse innocent musicians of something :)

"Beeswarm chart" is the search term that will get you more examples. Another great example http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/05/25/sunday-review/corporate-taxes.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/05/25/sunday-review/...
