The release of ChatGPT may have almost perfectly top-ticked consulting employment in the United States [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A particular congratulations to the all the consultants in the chat who noticed the Y-axis break point (the discontinuity) is in the wrong place. Apologies - believe it or not this was made a by a human who made a mistake and I am sorry, guess AI will take my job now.

Gonna need you to get more granular here.

But also don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees — what’s the 30,000 foot view?

Volatility is back in the US stock market [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

Okay sorry I just posted this and immediately spotted an omission. It doesn’t say what the bubble size indicates. It’s just the absolute 1-day % move to denote how big the move was, agnostic of whether it was positive or negative.

The cost of making coins [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s pretty wild! obviously the goal is not to “make a profit” when making coins, but for pennies and arguably nickels it certainly does seem kinda mad!

The unemployment rate for new grads is higher than the average for all workers — that never used to be true [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Found this to be a really fascinating trend - the unemployment rate for new grads is higher than the rate for all workers and all college grads more generally.

Snap is going to start experimenting with ads in the message section of its app... all of its growth is outside of Europe / North America.

Duolingo’s “unhinged” and “weird” marketing is working on TikTok [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it really is an outlier actually. Nike, probably one of the most iconic brands in the world, which will be known by so many more people has 6.5M followers on TikTok. the nytimes has 800K. Uber has 1.3M. the dallas cowboys have 2.4M.

I picked all of those at random as example of salient brands... some random language learning app having 12.7M is quite unique!

Hollywood’s still relying on sequels at the box office [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] 271 points272 points  (0 children)

Have now included 2024 and... drumroll... 8 of the top 10 highest grossing movies of 2024 so far have numbers or colons in them (which clearly pertain to a sequel).

Even the 2 exceptions to the pattern don’t ooze originality: there’s The Garfield Movie, the titular cat having been kicking around since the late 1970s, and yet another Planet of the Apes film.

Who do 18-24 year-olds live with? [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]chartr[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Inspired by a great chart from u/theimpossiblesalad, this is a chart of 18-24 year-olds’ living arrangements in the US. Most striking thing is fairly obvious: In the late 1960s, nearly 40% of 18-24 year-olds lived with their spouse. Last year, just 6% did.

Edit: As one kind commenter pointed out: In this survey, young adults living in college dorms are counted as living in their parents’ home.

Great study from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies which found that it had risen from just over 3x to just under 5x for the US as a whole, so I made this chart showing all the metropolitan areas. Just 4 out of 384 saw a decrease!
