Here you’ll find the charts which are continually updated as new data is published.

Unlike the static charts found elsewhere on the site, these charts are in Flash. Which means Adobe Flash Player 9 is required to view, and interact, with them.

Moving the mouse over them will reveal the statistics relating to whatever your mouse is hovering over. You will also be able to zoom in on a particular timeframe which interests you. Simply place the cursor over the date you want to start, hold down your mouse’s right button, drag your mouse to the date where you want to see up to, then release the right button. Presto, just the data that interests you.
