The given bar chart provides information about the number of people working in five sectors, namely sales, accounting, computing, nursing, and farming in one area of Australia in 2001 and 2008.
It is clear that the data of employees in the sales sector accounted for the highest figure in both years. In addition, the lowest was recorded for farming fields.
As for the category with the year 2001, there were 150,000 people working in the sales industry, and the figure for that in the accounting sector was far lower, at 62,000 people. Furthermore, the number of people working in computing (around 60,000 people) was slightly higher than that in nursing, which was 58,000 people. The farming sector employed the least number of people, at 22,000 people.
Regarding the year 2008, the number of people in sales employment was 159,000 people, nearly twice as much as that in computing, accounting for 80,000 people. A significant similarity can be seen when we look at the number of individuals working in the accounting and nursing sector, which was 60,000 people. Finally, the farming field saw the most inferior level of employment, which was only 20,000 people.
