The chart gives data about the rate of employees in each of 7 categories in the U.S. in the period 2003-2013.
Overall, the proportion of the workforce in every industry showed an upward trend, except the rate of employment in Medical and Business. The percentage of workers in every profession in 2003 was more evenly distributed than it was in 2013.
In detail, it was mentioned that Business was the industry that had the largest labor force in 2003, about more than two-fifths. However, the year 2013 witnessed a plunge in this category, and it dropped by approximately 15%. Similarly, the Medical category experienced a slump in the percentage of employees in the labor market in the period from 2003 to 2013; from 20% in 2003, it was halved. Likewise, it was recorded that in 2013, there was a crash in the proportion of unemployed people, from more than 10% to one-twentieth.
In contrast, it was evident that the remaining categories surged remarkably in the period between 2003 and 2013. The most recognizable was the upsurge in the rate of the labor force in the self-employed category and the hotel industry in 2013; it had increased around 4 times what it was in 2003, from below 5% in 2003 to around 20% in the 10 years since 2003, and from more than one-tenth to more than three-tenths, respectively. Correspondingly, the percentage of workers in education, training, and building rose 2 times compared to 10 years later.
