The given line chart illustrates the percentage of how many people who

were out of job in three different areas of the world, namely the UK, the
rest of Europe and Japan over a 14-year period.

All in all, it is obvious that Japan witnessed an upward trend in the rate of
jobless people, while the opposite was true with that of the rest of Europe
and the UK. The initial impression from the chart is that the proportion of
unemployment in the rest of Europe was get the highest rate in most of the
given period between 1993 and 2007.

As can be seen from the chart, the figure for unemployment in the UK
which began a biggest rate at nearly 11%, underwent a significant drop to
6% in 1999, while the opposite was true with that of the rest of Europe,
which started at 9% before growing to 11% and reach a peak at over 11%
in the following year. Besides, the rate of people who were jobless in
Japan climbed to 3% in 1995 and remained unchanged in the next three
years.

From 1999 onward, the percentage of people who were unemployed out of
job in the rest of Europe falled gradually to over 8% in 2003 and rose
slightly in the next two years, but later it saw a reduction to under 8%.
Likewise, the UK experienced a downward trend to 5% and remained
stable from 2001 to 2005 before going up by 1% in the rate of
unemployment. By contrast, there was a substantial increase d to 6% in the
figure for people who were jobless in Japan from 1999 to 2003, which was
followed by a rapid drop to 4% in 2007.
