I was going to make the same point. 5 categories. Each is supposed to make up 30% or so of the overall unemployed. Perhaps they are double-counting those who have “all of the above” or something.
Any way you slice it, they are manipulating statistics to make a point. What did Twain say? “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”?
There is no manipulation just an unclear labelling of the long term unemployed bar. I believe it should read % of unemployed in that category who are long term unemployed. The chart indicates that it is essentially the same regardless of level of education.
The way I read the chart is that those with advanced degrees have about 4% unemployment, and that 30+% OF THE ADVANCED DEGREE UNEMPLOYED are long term unemployed.
