Multivariate Graph

For this assignment, I chose the suicide rates in the United States. I was going to divide by ages; however, there would be many lines and hard to look at, so I decided to divide by sexes (Male and Female), and the total.

The story I want to tell the story from this graph is that the numbers of male who committed suicide is greater than the numbers of female who committed suicide.
Both male and female rates of suicide have decreased from 1990. 1970s was the highest rate of female suicide; however, the male highest suicide rate was during1990s. During 1960s and 70s, since the Great Depression and the Energy Crisis had happened, the rates of female suicide was increased. In 1990s, the male's rate increased. This is because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NEFTA) has started to work between U.S., Mexico, and Canada for allies could work in the U.S. However because of this, there were more unemployed male workers in the United States.
When you look at the total of suicides, the rate slightly decreased till 2000; however, after that, it increased again. Through the data and researches, the rates between 1950-1990s are unstable and more suicide people because of the economics decreased.

Although I have already learned how to create graph with Excel and PowerPoint, to think about three variables was harder. I made the mistake that I created the graph with only two variables.
