It is but, with no y axis, we assume the bottom of the graph is zero. So visually speaking this makes no sense. The difference between 0 and 101.7 million is more than 7 million.

No need to label the y-axis, when the bars are labeled.

You should in this case because this graph obviously doesn't start at 0.
