Hello, Gilmar:
I think your problem, as I see it, has two sources: first, using Graphics@{} makes it difficult for you to distinguish between the list of graphics primitives and the options. As it is, you have everything in the same{}. I would rather use the ordinary notation Graphics[{...},...] in order to control properly the options. Second, I think using Offset to control the position of an Inset is not a good idea. I played around with it and I think the following gives a better result:
labelRates = {"14.9 %", "10.3 %", "9.2 %", "7.0 %", "5.4 %", "4.0 %", "2.4 %", "1.9 %"};
rates = ToExpression@StringReplace[labelRates, " %" -> ""];
n = Length@rates;
labelEarnings = {"$23,088", "$32,552", "$37,024", "$39,884", "$53,976", "$66,144", "$83,720", "$80,600"};
earnings = ToExpression@StringReplace[labelEarnings, "$" | "," -> ""];
labels = {"Some high school,\nno diploma","High school graduate", "Some college,\nno degree","Associate degree", "Bachelor's degree", "Master's degree","Professional degree","Doctoral degree"};
vs = 3.8; (*vertical scale*)
lw = 17; (*label \width*)
es = 4000; (*earnings scale*)
max = Max@earnings;
educationandtrainingchart = Graphics[{Transpose@{Range@n, labelRates, rates, labels, earnings, labelEarnings} /. {k_, lr_, r_, l_, e_, le_} :> {Style[Text[lr, {-r - lw/5, vs (k + .25)}], Bold, Medium, FontFamily -> "Times"], EdgeForm[Thick],Black, Pink, Rectangle[{-r, k vs}, {0, vs (k + .5)}], EdgeForm[Thick], Black, Style[Text[l, {lw/2, vs (k + .2)}], Bold, Medium, FontFamily -> "Times"], Green, Rectangle[{lw, k vs}, {lw + e/es, vs (k + .5)}], EdgeForm[Thick], Black, Style[Text[le, {lw*1.25 + e/es, vs (k + .25)}], Bold, Medium], FontFamily -> "Times"}, {Black, Opacity[0.5], Thick, Line@{{0, vs}, {0, vs (n + .5)}}, Line@{{lw, vs}, {lw, vs (n + .5)}}}, Inset[Text[ Style[Framed["Education and Training pay..."], 16, Black, Bold, Background -> Lighter[Yellow]]], Offset[{100, 360}, {0, 0}]], Inset[Text[ Style["Unemployment Rate in 2010 (Percent)", Medium, Bold, FontFamily -> "Times"
]!
], Offset[{-35, 320}, {0, 0}]], Inset[Text[ Style["Median Earnings in 2010 (Dollars)", Medium, Bold, FontFamily -> " Times"]], Offset[{270, 320}, {0, 0}]]}, ImageSize -> 500]
By the way, I also reduced the image size.
I hope this can be of help.
