So I am trying to create a graph of unemployment rates in Illinois for each month. My data table is simple. It looks like this:

enter image description here

Here is my code:

unemploy_data_il <- read.csv("data/clean_data/unemploy_rate_il_2020.csv")

library("ggplot2")

unemployment_il_graph <- ggplot(unemploy_data_il, aes(x = month,
                                                      y = unemployment_rate)) +
  geom_point()
print(unemployment_il_graph)

However, when I run my code, the months on the graph is alphabetize and not actually in order as I have them in my data table. What should I do to fix this?

My graph looks like this:
