I am going to be a bit nitpicky here because of the subreddit we are on. The data is interesting, but this visualization is just bad. There is a lot that could have been done. For example, putting "Increase" on a second axis as a line, or better yet, remove it altogether and instead do a stacked bar with "2010" and "Increase". Would have made the graph much simpler and more visually appealing. With this being r/dataisbeautiful the context is about how nice a graph looks not necessarily the data itself.
