You do not provide a reproducible example, as the posting guide asks you to. But I guess that your time series setup using ts() is insufficient, see ?ts. If the data starts in January 2008, why do you tell R that it starts in 1? Presumably you have monthly data and

  unem1 <- ts(unem$a, start = c(2008, 1), freq = 12)
  plot(unem1, type = "o")

is what you want.

because the time starts at JAN_08 and ends on DEC_09, how to make the
y axis in the plot show month starting from JAN_08 instead of having
the current
ugly appearance (5, 10, 15, 20,?)?
