      The rate at which men have been employed has been falling since the 1950s. The rate at which women have been employed peaked around the turn of this century.pic.twitter.com/ty2jCSkBbb

      Why would you make a double-y-axis graph when the two lines have the same units and are directly comparable? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

      I am surprised that several people have brought this up! The answer is that it is easier to see the variation in each series when they are on different axes! The rate for women is below the rate for men in every year. Isn't it common for a chart to use both Y axes??

      Only when it compares things that are measured in different units. This graph creates the illusion that more women now work than men, which is of course untrue. You should delete and make a better one!

      It's much harder to see the beautiful variation if the series are stacked!

          I'll be honest, I like @MichaelRStrain's double y-axis graph a bit better, it is easier to zoom in on points in time and see how different the trends are.pic.twitter.com/bILxrxZKdf

          And at the end it clearly shows that women are almost twice as active in the labor force as men. It's terrible. You'll be a bigger man for admitting it than for denying it. Repeat after me: "Noah was right, and I was wrong. I'll do better next time."

          Much better, the original is misleading.
