There is a difference between graphing data as a percentage vs. absolute. For example, if there were 100 people working in 1980 and 10% were laid off, you would graph the data point at 10 (people). If there were 200 people working in 2009 and 10% were laid off, you would graph the data point at 20 (people). This would be an absolute plot and it would make 2009 look much worse (twice as bad) as 1980, even though they are exactly the same percentage loss. Get it? Are you a stupid ass or what?
