Infographic description

The title of the infographic is "The March increase in the number of employed people with lost hours was 8 times greater than the 1998 Ice Storm"

This is a bubble chart.

There is one small bubble showing that during the Ice Storm in January 1998 there were 166,000 employed people with reduced hours.

There is one big bubble showing that during the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, there were 2.1 million employed people with reduced hours.

In the chart area is written "The March increase in the number of employed people with lost hours was 8 times greater than the 1998 Ice Storm (employed people with hours lost refers, here, to those working zero hours or less than half of usual hours)."
