This visualization compares Rhode Island and U.S. unemployment rates as two line charts over time, using steelblue for Rhode Island and orange for the national rate. Red circles mark notable spikes in Rhode Island data, with a legend and grid lines aiding interpretation. The React app loads CSV data with d3.csv, parses dates with timeParse, and renders the SVG using d3.scaleTime, d3.scaleLinear, d3.line, and d3.axisBottom/axisLeft. A shared y-axis domain from both datasets ensures direct visual comparison.
