We are asked to redraw the above graph to make it not misleading. Note that the vertical axis of the above graph starts at $15500 and does not have a break. Therefore, to correct the graph, let's set the vertical axis to start at $0 and end at $20000 with increments of $2000.
Please note that this is only one possible way to correct the given histogram — there are many other possible ways to do it.
The scale on the vertical axis of the given graph has very small increments that are not equal. To redraw the graph to make it not misleading, let's set the vertical axis to start at $0 and end at $10 with increments of one unit.
We can see now that the mean hourly wage has been increasing by minimal amounts, which is something that cannot be seen in the original graph. Please note that this is only one possible way to correct the given line graph — there are many other possible ways to do it.
