I used Ipe as an alternative to TikZ package for LaTeX. Ipe is a great tool that allows some manual moving of chart's components but can also be edited through code. You can insert formulas using LaTeX typesetting. It's also much easier to use for a complete beginner than TikZ. Highly recommend giving it a shot if you found TikZ to be too time-consuming.

Short answer: it's complicated.

Longer answer: what you are interested in is called the “transmission mechanism”, and the reduced workforce (and also investment by businesses) is only a part of it. The main part of the transmission mechanism is consumption: when interest rates go up, saving becomes more attractive and people shop less, preferring to spend later. They also face lower asset prices (did you notice how all bonds lost value over the past year? that's what it is) and so choose to spend less.

The inflation-unemployment trade-off that you mentioned is also a part of it. All economists know that there are trade-offs between policy goals, and you have to make judgement calls about what the society's priorities are. If only the voters could vote on “2% lower inflation compared to now” vs “1 percent lower unemployment compared to now”. For better or for worse, they don't do that.

> It is said to prove a point about the globalization of tea: words for tea that sound like chai reflect a historical spread via overland routes, the argument goes, while words like tea are a legacy of maritime trade. A 2018 viral article by the data journalist Nikhil Sonad in Quartz first put this idea on the world’s radar.

This “idea” was on wikipedia since at least 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Etymology_of_tea&...

A paper on a similar topic but with much better execution: The Rate of Return on Everything, 1870–2015, https://economics.harvard.edu/files/economics/files/ms28533..... Among other things, it spans multiple countries, and includes housing in the comparison.
