Giving a bin width to imported data

I have imported monthly US unemployment rate data on matlab and wish to make an histogram with a bin width of 0.3, how would I go about doing that?

It depends on what you want, and what function you are using. For the histcounts function and its friends, defining the edges as:

edgs = 0:0.3:1.2;

creates four bins with their edges separated by 0.3 units:

edgs =
            0          0.3          0.6          0.9          1.2

Experiment to get the result you want.
