Would be interesting to see how this correlates with Olympic golds won, if anyone is inclined. That’s a crazy disparity
Compare to relative country’s cost of living / normal wages
So many people are going to assume the color bar itself is a scaled axis. NOT BEAUTIFUL.
You should reconsider the current implementation of the color-scale legend you added to the side.
First, you are repeating information as we can see the dollar amount through the x-axis, so you are duplicating unnecessary information.
Secondly, the data bars sorted from highest to lowest paying country allows you to get away without an actual color-scale legend as the sorting mechanism in the graph gives away the color-scale. Top payers are bright and yellow, low payers are dark and blackish.
Otherwise, this is good.
Since when are Hong Kong and Taiwan countries?
Lost opportunity to add an axis that is yearly income in USD to your plot.
I think the tin in bronze medals is worth ten times more than gold itself. Bronze medalists should get paid more than gold medalists.
I swear dataisbeautiful is just badly plotted data nowadays with bells and whistles its so painful to look at
People complain that the colour axis duplicates the data. Well yes, but it also makes the overall figure much prettier if it needs to be presented at a distance and draws attention. It made me click on the post so it’s working. Good job.
As an inhabitant if one of the countries at the bottom, I’m genuinely shocked that other countries pay on a per medal basis. I find that so weird.

Graphing one attribute on two axes. Interesting.
