The beige wedge looks a little strange on this one because it is so large. Could you substitute another color (maybe the medium tan color)?

The lettering on this figure is just too small. I know that you didn't make this figure, but it there any way that you could get a larger type size? Maybe make the grid wider so that you can fit the occupations on a single line?? The population categories at the top are also hard to read. I really like this figure -- it conveys a lot of information -- but am afraid that it will be annoying to people b/c they can't read it.
