Does Pop + Emp include only population growth? #13

We won't deal with this until after our report is in, but I'm looking at the graphs and I think there is a problem with the POP + EMP variable. I am worried that it includes only population. Notice below how it is all just steady growth. But we had a big recession from 2009-2010 and people lost jobs, so the band should narrow over that period. Maybe it does, but going form 5% to 10% unemployment isn't big enough to register?

I'm looking at this, and I think it is fine.
