Macroeconomic Performance in the UK and US (2000-2016)
This dataset, presented as Figure 1.4, provides a comparative time-series analysis of labor market performance in the United Kingdom and the United States from 2000 to 2016. The top chart illustrates the trends in the employment rate and the labor force participation rate, both calculated as a percentage of the working-age population. The bottom chart shows the unemployment rate, calculated as a percentage of the labor force. The data visualization also marks the timing of two major economic events: the Global Financial Crisis (c. 2008) and the Brexit vote (2016), allowing for an examination of their potential effects on these key indicators.
