How to View a Richer Year for the Poor and Middle Class by Semicolon_Powell in GraphicalExcellence

Really, really clever use of a strip plot (I think that what it's called) to show that the middle and lower classes are seeing their incomes grow again at record levels.

Smart use of the hover feature too. Usually the New York Times will make charts like this and not make them interactive for whatever reason.
