This scatterplot displays Rhode Island's monthly unemployment rate from 1976 onward, using data from the FRED series RIUR. Points are plotted on a time-based x-axis and a linear y-axis, with steelblue circles and a tooltip showing the exact date and rate on hover. The visualization is built with React and D3 v7, using `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft` to render the axes, grid, and interactive elements.
