The chart and line graph illustrate the distribution of the labor market in London and the unemployment rate from 1993 to 2003, categorized by three groups.
Among these groups, indigenous Londoners took a lion’s share, constituting half of the local workforce, which far exceeded others. Thereafter, non-English-speaking workers came second, with 42% proportion of individuals in this group landing jobs in London. In contrast, people who speaked English were the least favored by local employers, merely 8% working in London.
Consistent with the data in the first graph, the three categorizes followed a similar pattern, which was a generally downward trajectory with marginal fluctuation from 1993 to 2003. The unemployment rate among English-speaking demographic significantly surpassed other two groups, spanning from 8% in 1993 to 3% in 2003. While the changes were more noticeable in natives, the figure in this group initially underwent a slight ascent and then dropped drastcially, eventually reaching at 2% in 2003. By contrast, the number of unemployed people who did not use English was continuously decreasing over the decades, starting from 3% to 1% after ten years.
Overall, native Londoners dominated both the local workforce during this time period, while other two groups comprising the remainder workforce. Meanwhile, the number of unemployed people among the three groups has been declining over the past ten years.
