Unemployment Rate Box Plot Visualization This project visualizes unemployment rate data across various U.S. states for the year 2020. Using D3.js, it presents a box plot to highlight the distribution of unemployment rates, showing median, quartiles, and range (min-max) for each state. This is part of a data visualization project aimed at making statistical data on employment more accessible and insightful.
