The bar chart illustrates the number of volunteers and paid workers in four different areas of sports in an Australian town in 2015.
Overall, the number of volunteers exceeded that of paid workers in almost every category, with referees being the only exception. Notably, the largest difference between volunteers and paid workers was observed in coaching.
In terms of the top two categories, coaching and other sections had the highest number of both volunteers and paid workers. In coaching, there were approximately 45 paid workers in 2015, while the number of volunteers reached around 75, significantly surpassing the number of paid workers. In other sections, nearly 50 paid workers were recorded, with volunteers in this field totaling almost 60, marking it as the second-highest area of participation in the chart.
Considering the areas with the least participation, which included referees and therapists, both volunteers and paid workers numbered less than 45. The difference between volunteers and paid workers among therapists was slight, with approximately 45 volunteers and around 40 paid workers. However, in the referees category, the number of paid workers was nearly 40, exceeding the number of volunteers by five.
