Placing and Aligning Labels on Small Multiples
Placing labels for each of the multiples is not much a problem. But, it's pretty hard to align them across all the multiples. For example, in this #WorkoutWednesday 35 project by Rajeev Pandey, the State labels are not aligned.
Actually I had the same aligning problem before and I blogged my solutions here:

The above two solutions are based on a common point in all the small multiples. In the #WorkoutWednesday 35 project, there is no such a common point. We have to find another way to align the labels.
Luckily I found a fairly consistent way to place and align the labels.
