TASK:

The bar chart illustrates the ratios of the UK’s workforce in five primary industries
between 2 years 1841 and 2011. For the purposes of this data set, all the industries
significantly changed in this period, especially in services, manufacturing and
agriculture/fishing.
What stands out is that, in 1841, the rate employees of services was only responsible
for 33%, however, it jumped dramatically up to 81% of the total workforce by 2011. By
contrast, the number of workers working in manufacturing and agriculture/ fishing witnessed
a considerable decrease from 1841 to 2011. The shares of workers in the manufacturing
industry decreased by 4 times, compared to 1841 and there was only 1% left from 22% of the
staff of agriculture/fish.
Turning next to construction and energy/water industries, they accounted for under
10% of total employees in the UK in both years. While the workforce of construction rose
slightly by 3%, 3% of the number of employees working in energy/water in 1841 fell to 1%
in 2011.
In summary, there was a significant shift in the workforce across industries in the UK,
with most employees apparently moving from other to service sectors between 1841-2011.
