UK Unemployment

It’s a difficult time for millions of people across the UK, with unemployment at 4.3% 😔

Many talented people are searching for their next role in a challenging marketplace.

For this week’s #MakeoverMonday, I visualised 53 years of UK unemployment data.

Since the peak of 11.8% in 1984 under Thatcher, unemployment has been like a roller coaster for people in my country.

After a brief recovery post-pandemic, job numbers are sadly tumbling again.

But there’s always hope. 🌱

This build pushed my limits, but the results were worth it.

A line chart that highlights every peak and trough at a glance takes centre stage. With time toggles, users can seamlessly drill down into finer levels of detail.

For anyone looking for their next job in the UK, or overseas, I wish you good luck with your search ❤️
