This is a horrible graph.
- It has no specific source information. It's not clear what year or age group or whatever.
- A hotel is a ridiculous and irrelevant thing to use as a graphic guide. This is not intuitive.
- It's not even clear what the percentages mean in this context. It is a bizarre graph altogether. The lower "red" floor is high school, and is somehow 84.6%? This is a completely ridiculous way to depict this kind of data.
It should not be used. It is pure chartjunk. --Mr.98 (talk) 21:47, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
I think it was based on the idea that the upper floors are more desirable and thus better off/of higher status. Hence the analogy to educational attainment, also an indicator of high social status. The percentages reading from the top down is not intuitive though, agreed.
