The line graph demonstrates the proportion of the Australian labor force in five different industries from 1962 to 2012.
Overall, the data for services, mining, and construction saw a steady trend, while the data for manufacturing and agriculture declined. In addition, the services sector was prioritized, whereas the opposite was true for the mining sector.
Regarding services, the figure for this field accounted for 52 percent in 1962, significantly higher than the other industries listed. By 2012, this figure continued to rise and reached a peak of 80 percent.
In terms of manufacturing và agriculture, the figure for two of these sectors attained 25 percent and 10 percent respectively in 1962, after which those figures dropped by 10 percent and 6 percent respectively.
Turning to construction và mining, construction workers accounted for less than one-tenth of the total workforce in the first year, then the figure remained virtually unchanged until 2002 before rising slightly to match manufacturing in 2012. A similar pattern was observed in the mining workforce, consistently hovering around the 2% mark.
