Well personally I would not have a clue on how to approach the problem but have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6644997/showing-data-values-on-stacked-bar-chart-in-ggplot2. which seems to do what you want only using geom_text()
Best of luck.

I've never seen stat_bin used like that. What exactly is it supposed to do. It looks like you are trying to label the %ages in each piece of the bar.

When I leave out the stat_bin, I get the correct bar chart, but without the labels. Can someone please help me understand what is causing the error above?
