Band 6+: The chart and graph below give information about three categories of workers in Australia and the unemployment levels within those groups. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Given is a pie chart indicating the rate of workers in Australia by birthplace, including Australia, ESC and NESC in the year of 2003, and a line graph comparing the changes in the unemployment rate in Australia by place of birth over a period of 10 years, since 2003.

In general, it is evident that while the percentage of workers who were born in Australia took the lion’s share, the figure for people without jobs in all categories witnessed a downward trend

Concerning the first pie chart, the data on Australia-born workers is the highest, and this number accounted for three-fourths of the total, at 76%. This was followed by NESC and ESC with nearly the same figure, indicated by 14% and 10 %, respectively.

Regarding the second line graph, in 1993, while the jobless level of people living in NESC was the highest, with 7 %, the figure for that in Australia and ESC were lower, at around 4%. The data on NESC dropped significantly by half in 1998, whereas there was a fluctuation in the other nations and it reached at 2% in Australia and 1% in ESC by the end of the period. The rate of unemployment in NESC was vice verce but it still accounted for the highest in 2003, demonstrated by about 3,5%
