How to nudge over the bar numerical labels

Question

How do I adjust the position in geom_text to distribute the column labels over each of their respective columns, currently they are all aligned on top of each other (see picture)

ggplot(ESCd, aes(factor(S),fill = ESC9)) + 
  geom_bar(stat="count", position = "dodge")+
  geom_text(stat='count', aes(label=..count..), vjust=-1, position = "identity")

Try changing `geom_text` `position = "identity"` to `position = "dodge"` — Peter, Dec 19 '21 at 19:08
please include a picture of the desired layout ... handwritten on existing picture would be sufficient — jsotola, Dec 19 '21 at 19:09

We could use position = position_dodge():

Here is an example with the built in diamonds dataframe:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(diamonds, aes(factor(cut),fill = factor(color))) + 
  geom_bar(stat="count", position = "dodge")+
  geom_text(stat='count', aes(label=..count..), position = position_dodge(width = 0.9), 
            vjust = -0.25, color = "black", size = 3)
