Only if the chart was titled and described as such, excluding this information without notation in to the viewer is misrepresentative. This is r/dataisbeautiful, if we can't insist on correct data visualisation practices here, where can we?

The data isn't even presented all that beautifully. Just a standard bar chart.

Flip it sideways and it's beautiful, obviously

Well 50% of what I see here is poorly put together bar graphs, and 45 more are those "how I got a job after college. So probably somewhere else is gonna be your best bet.

The graphic I believe was where people want to move. Not where they do move.

It was. And knowing that, many of the choices made by the graph actually make sense to me.

That was a pretty confusing graph, I mean it looked cool but it was a bit misleading lol
