Graph of the Day

A busy day (actually trying to do a bit of my own research!)...so I just threw together a plot of the historical civilian unemployment rate using FRED data (similar to figure 1-3 from Mankiw's intermediate macroeconomics textbook).  Very boring I know, but tomorrow I promise something a bit more interesting!

If anyone can point me in the direction of the actual data that Mankiw uses to generate the graphs from his textbook I would be very grateful. I can't seem to find it! Code for the above is available on GitHub.
