Add text on top of a faceted dodged bar chart
You need to dodge the text values as well. Try
qbarplot_yr_1 + geom_text(data = censusData,
aes(x = County, group=variable, y = value + 150,
label = format(value, nsmall = 0, digits=1, scientific = FALSE)),
color="blue", position=position_dodge(.9), hjust=.5)
We also need the group= so it knows which values to dodge on.
