Hi, dataviz expert here! You might think this type of graphic is cute, but statistics only act this way when they are EXTREMELY MANIPULATED. If you make these time periods the same, the discrepancy between the numbers would basically go away. Do better

Hours needed by the average US worker to purchase a week’s worth of groceries in 2024 is now similar to what it was in 2019 pre-COVID and pre-inflation. www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-...
