I had a chance to participate on a panel about Visualizing Data at the American Association for Budget and Program Analysis 2012 Spring Symposium (lots of talks for budget geeks) along with Jonathan Schwabish from Congressional Budget Office and Ellie Fields from Tableau Software. We discuss the analysis, design, and editing process for creating data graphics.
If you made it to the session and would like to see my slides again or missed it but want to learn about the methods and resources I find most helpful take a look:
Here is a sneak peek at my An Illustrated Guide to Income in the United States. These are a set of data graphics looking at the average income and change in number of jobs over the last ten years for 800+ occupation by industry and by education. Be sure to sign up to be notified when the Income Guide is done.

Due to popular demand, I have updated my 2010 graph on top marginal tax rates. In addition, during this year’s tax season, I will be selling copies of my Top Marginal Tax Rates graph as a tabloid size 11″x17″ poster. 
FYI, your marginal tax rate is the rate you pay on the “last dollar” you earn; but when you view the taxes you paid as a percentage of your income, your effective tax rate is less than your marginal rate, especially after you take into account the deductions and exemptions, i.e. income that is not subject to any tax.

First published in Slate to accompany an article written by Tim Noah, I created these graphs about income inequality covering the changes in income inequality as well as looking at changes in race, gender, education, taxes and political party in the White House.
