The bar chart compares the number of jobs in three areas of tourism in an unspecified UK city from 1989 to 2009. Overall, restaurants and hotels had far more jobs over a period, showing a general upward trend. Meanwhile, in addition to decreases of varying degrees in the figures for sport&leisure and travel&tourism, the number of jobs was always relatively fewer.
Restaurants and hotels were dominant in the job market in this city. Starting at nearly 1100, almost 200 more than other counterparts, the figure increased considerably onwards, reaching a peak of just under 1600. Despite a drop of roughly 100 in 2009, this field kept the lead, with a big disparity.
Turning to other categories, the figure for sport and leisure commenced at around 800, negligibly more than that for travel& tourism. Thereafter, however, the former dropped to just under 800, while the latter reached over 800. This was followed by a rise to over 800 in sport&leisure, and an abrupt dip to nearly 600 in 1999. From that point onwards, widening the gap steadily, both figures declined considerably, reaching just over 700, and nearly 400 respectively in the final year.
