What's the point of that average income graph delineated in "income per tax unit"? I've never seen that used before. Also, what's the point of using the average in any fashion in a chart about US incomes?

VVVVVVV Yeah that one looks pretty strange on closer look. I guess it is trying to convey the share of capital gains in taxable income? And even then it probably ought to be normalized for inflation at least. Private Speech fucked around with this message at Mar 4, 2013 around 03:38 |

Why is the pivot point highlighted on the chart '80 and not '72ish? That was the point of the US going from net oil exporter to net oil importer and the subsequent oil embargo/crisis?

From 538, what would happen if the 2012 election was run again with the predicted demographics for 2016. Decreasing relevance of the White vote, 88% of Romney voters were white, the next Republican will need to change that to compete.

Jonathan Corum put up slides from a talk he gave about making infographics. I don't agree with him on everything (this graphic was an awful choice, I think, esp. because he didn't make it, http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-came-from.html), and I shouldn't because he's a design guy and I'm a numbers guy, but still he's done a lot of good paid work and I'm just some dude on the internet so hey: http://style.org/tapestry/ Yeesh.

StatCan's The Daily had a piece about how cigarette sales rose by 3.2% from last month. Offhand, I was a bit surprised by that, so instead of doing real work I decided to look at more data. Over the past two years, cigarette sales have remained relatively stable. That little rise on the very far right is the 3.2% increase mentioned. All right, need more data.  Okay, so looking back over the past decade, there's been a solid decline in cigarette sales. In 2006, Ontario introduced the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, prohibiting smoking in workplaces, bars and restaurants. Further legislation was introduced in 2008 and 2009. That makes some sense, and the decline in smoking looks pretty drastic. But what happens when we go back further?  There are a couple caveats to the data here. I had to combine two time series from StatCan (CANSIM 303-0007 for historical data from 1946-2003, and CANSIM 303-0062 for current data 2004-2013). Data for cigarette sales did not go past the late 1960s, so I looked at cigarette production, which closely tracked sales except for a bit in the 1990s. I applied a five month rolling average to the data as it was not really stable from the late sixties until the late eighties. This is why the data from 2004-2013 is slightly different with this graph. There is a strange rapid rise in both production and sales that should probably be looked into about around 1994, but the data meshes quite well around 2003, so I'm not sure what it could be. Nonetheless, the trend is very clear there has been a sustained drop in cigarette production and consumption since around 1980(especially considering Canada's population growth--in 1946 Canada's population was around 12M, compared to around 35M today). What does it look like after taking population into account?  Looking at cigarette consumption per capita we see much the same shape as the previous chart, except that the decline beginning in the 1980s is more pronounced, particularly once it hits the 2000s. If anyone knows why cigarette consumption spiked in the mid 1990s, and if this occurred in different countries, I would be very interested to learn.

Health Services posted:Cigarette stuff That's really cool. I looked up some demographic information to see if it might explain something. I found that between 1990 and 1992, Canada had higher than normal population growth, which I assume came from Eastern Europe. However, this is a couple of years before the jump in cigarette sells, so I doubt the two things are closely related. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Canada_by_years

However, this is a couple of years before the jump in cigarette sells, so I doubt the two things are closely related. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Canada_by_years Population growth is accounted for in the cigarettes per capita chart, and it's why the decline of cigarette consumption is magnified when compared to absolute sales. It's plausible that the jump could be related to a methodological or reporting change, but StatCan says that their methodology and questionnaire was relatively consistent for that series. The Pew Research Centre released a very interested report on American attitudes towards cannabis consumption. They found that when asked "do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal or illegal?" for the first time a majority of people choose the former. The infographic is broken down by gender, generation, and party ID.     http://www.people-press.org/2013/04...juana-timeline/

A drop in legal sales would have coincided with increased smuggling, the sharp increase coincides with a drop in the excise tax. Edit: The complicity of tobacco companies explains why production didn't drop in line with sales. Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at Apr 6, 2013 around 18:01 |

SedanChair posted:Silly women, dropping out of the workforce to have babies Well they are also probably run out because of hostile all-male workplaces. Nevertheless, having a gender wage gap from women prematurely leaving of a job has a different solution than a if the cause was because they got paid less at equal seniority. It's also possible that recently there is a surge of women in programing jobs which means their average wages are lower. The graph doesn't and should distinguish between them.

I don't know what the management structure is for videogame companies, but I would have though that producers and designers are direct bosses or higher ups of the programmers. Yet they earn less on average - even the producers. Usually managers earn more than the people they supervise. Also, there's ~20-30% of all workers in the game industry that have equity options. Does that include indie games (I imagine stats for those would be tedious to gather)? If it's just AAA studios, I'm surprised they have an upside-down incentive structure for management and retain a substantial number of employees on equity plans. You'd think established AAA employees would have that equity completely vested and cashed out (from mergers or back in the ancient days when their studios were starting out). The equity could just refer to employee stock ownership plans though. edit: nonsensical grammar flatbus fucked around with this message at Apr 8, 2013 around 14:57 |

Yet they earn less on average - even the producers. Usually managers earn more than the people they supervise. Whilst producers are managers in some games companies, it is more common for them to be facilitators and involved with cost management, planning and problem solving than supervising people who's job they couldn't do themselves. This is particularly true for associate producers. Design, art, animation and programming are usually seen as sister disciplines, with neither above the other. Obviously each has their own domain and makes decisions within it, but a designer doesn't tell an engineer what to do. Instead, they request a feature and it is assigned to a relevant engineer. Again, the idea is to stop people making decisions about tasks they couldn't do themselves. In general (though this is by no means the only organizational structure I have seen), engineers are managed by more senior engineers (usually with a fairly flat structure of 2-3 layers), with the most senior engineers reporting to project management and negotiating with other discipline leads. As far as equity options go, most companies have some form of stock sharing plan, performance related stock grants or occasionally options. Usually, they vary between a few hundred and a couple of thousand a year - with the occasional windfall for those in the right place at the right time. I believe that this data is collected at gamasutra, via a web-based questionnaire. Read into that what you will - but we've found it fairly accurate whenever we compare.
