The line graph provides a comparison of the number of people who were busy with five different chores: sales, accounting, computing, nursing, and farming in a certain region in Australia in 2001 and 2008.
Overall, sales was the most desirable job for most people in both years, while farming was the least popular position in both years. Interestingly, the number of busy employees was much higher in 2008 in terms of sales, computing, and nursing than in 2001.
Employee numbers in sales, which were under 160,000 in 2001, increased to almost 170,000 in 2008, maintaining a significant lead in both years. By contrast, farming was not as desirable as sales in both years, being the least popular position. It was nearly 21,000 in 2001 compared to under 20,000 in 2008, respectively.
As for other crucial chores, accounting and computing followed a similar pattern with one another, with nearly 60,000 people employed in both periods. The number of people who were workers in accounting was 60,000 in 2001 compared to around 59,000 in 2008. In terms of computing, the number of employees in 2001 was not as many as in 2008, with about 50,000 compared to about 62,000, respectively. Interestingly, nursing was a much more desirable chore in 2008 than in 2001, with approximately 50,000 compared to almost 60,000, respectively, following a similar pattern with computing.
