I don't have a ton to say about the content of the article other than a super boring, "that was interesting." One thing that was cool is the chart labeled "Switching Rate for Different Jobs." I've never seen that style of chart before and found it really effective for sharing the data. Does anyone know what that is called?

It's a clustered bubble chart that's been ordered. Clever.

There was nothing truly surprising about the findings themselves but I will say that they were presented very well and intuitively. That was the real value in this article and something other similar articles can learn from.

It's a bubble chart I think you can make with D3.js, (mentioned at the bottom, follow the link), something similar was used but sideways for a chart of rapers by their average number of words used per song a few years ago. (Just google rap vocabulary, you'll probably find it), it's a very cool interactive chart type.

"rapers"

Gotta watch that spelling. You don't want to accuse innocent musicians of something :)
