How to use d3.min and d3.max within a d3.json command
===

I'm new to d3 and Javascript. I have played around with the choropleth example but would like to now make some more detailed changes. One of which is to find the max and min of the JSON that I am using as input. 

My question is simple, for the code snippet below the object is output correctly to the console for the console.log(data) command, however the entire object is also output for the min and max statements as well instead of just the min and the max.

    d3.json("data/unemployment_by_state.json", function(data) {   
      console.log(data);
      console.log(d3.min([data]));
      console.log(d3.max([data]));
    });

Here is a snippet of the JSON object:

    {"01":32710,"02":20280,"03":18002}

All I would like some help with is understanding why the d3.min([data]) and d3.max([data]) are causing the entire object to be output to the console instead of the min and max number in the data object.

Thanks in advance.
