Yet another sophisticated online graph from the NYTimes, here illustrating the yearly estimates for seven different economic indicators, such as "Federal Budget Surplus", "Change in Number of Jobs" and "Real Minimum Wage". On the interactive heatmap, values are sorted from lowest to highest, assigned a color based on their order and then plotted chronologically to be compared with the US Presidents in power. Additional large bar graphs provide a more detailed view of each of the indicators.
