Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Every day, the average media consumer gets stuffed to the gills with percentages, ratios, and vastly different definitions of dips, plummets, plunges, and shifts. But we all digest figures in different ways. For those of us who learn better with our eyes, the graphical views on Visualizing Economics may help frame all those numbers in a meaningful package. Consult a map of poverty in the U.S. or compare the various sources of income for the top 1% of Americans. Measure the rising wages of bling with a chart of the "Hip-Hop Cash Kings" and a showdown between the incomes of top CEOs and hedge fund managers. Of course most of these statistics have a built in draw in that they're all about money. Just don't strain yourself trying to find where your paycheck lands on the map.
