Use the table to write a verbal description of trends in the unemployment rate over that 24-year period.
With enough effort, you were probably able to write a reasonable description. But because there’s so much data in the table, spotting the trends isn’t exactly a simple thing to do. Next, let’s look at the same data displayed in graphical form.
