Google Trends

This line chart represents the relative popularity of Google Search trends for three social media platforms over a 15 year period. The platforms I used are MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube. MySpace was relatively popular in the early part of 2005 and 2006, but after 2010 popularity waned in favor of Facebook and YouTube. The graph suggests that Facebook and YouTube have replaced MySpace as the go-to social media platform.

After creating the pie graphs from the test results, i was surprised to see they came out to be the same percentages. Looking at the data itself, 6.4 out of 25.6 seemed like a higher score to me since the other score was 40 out of 160. However, after doing some quick calculations the pie charts of best tests appear identical as shown above.

This chart compares the performances of NFL quarterbacks Drew Brees and Josh Rosen. Drew Brees comes out on top as he has leads in the touchdown category, completion perception, and QBR. Josh Rosen has thrown more interceptions as well as suffering the most sacks.

This chart displays the the changes in job net growth in the United States from 1990 to 2017. There have been three major recessions where the job market fell below the “0” line. The most major recession was in 2008–2009 that fell below “-6m” line. Each recession in the time period is labeled on the chart.
