This line chart compares monthly unemployment rates in Rhode Island against the national US average from 1976 onward. Two colored lines, steel blue for Rhode Island and orange for the US, trace the trends across time, with red circles highlighting notable rate spikes. Built with React and D3 v7, the visualization uses `d3.csv`, `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, and `d3.line` to load and render data from two CSV files. A legend and axis labels clarify the comparison.
