Economy
Misery Indices — G20
The Misery Index (Arthur Okun) sums the unemployment rate and inflation rate — a quick gauge of economic discomfort. Each chart shows that Classic index alongside Neo-Misery, which adds a house-price-to-income affordability component, so the gap between the two lines is the housing burden. One chart per G20 economy; the legend on each makes the two lines explicit.
