The chart displays five main proportions of employees’ fields in the United Kingdom in 1841 and 2011. It can be seen that both numbers in the services and the construction continued increasing to the end of the period while the others had a decline.
At the beginning, the services industry was secondly chosen by people with 33% next below the manufacturing with 36% and stood out with the most significant rise to 81%. In addition, there was a slight increase in the construction where the number in both years was not over 10%.
Meanwhile, there was a dramatic drop in the first(36%) and third place(22%) which was the manufacturing and the agriculture respectively. The percentages sharply dropped to not more than 10%. Another notable trend was the decline in energy and water. The proportion in this industry rarely changed from 3% to 1% which was considered as the least changed among the others.
