The second graph (on workweek in hours) is really dodgy : the y-axis range from 38 hours to ... 38.8 hours. Not really a change then.

- leoedin 13y agoThe quality of data representation in mainstream journalism is really poor. I guess it's to be expected - most journalists don't really have much of a scientific background and so miss out on having graphing considerations hammered into them. Even publications like the Economist often squeeze and deceptively label graphs. It's a shame that the people informing the general public about science, technology and maths are so illiterate in it themselves.
