The given chart compares the average revenue of people in administration, financial services, telecommunications, tourism, transport, and retail/shops in a nation in 2000 and 2010, and the table depicts the average salary for all sectors in the same years.
Overall, both the average annual salary per full-time worker for all sectors and for each sector increased, except for that of tourism. In addition, while financial services consistently remained the highest-paid job in 2000 and 2010, tourism had the lowest salary per employee in both years.
In 2000, the average annual income per worker in financial services was the greatest among all sectors, at 117 thousand dollars, followed by 65 thousand dollars in telecommunications. In contrast, tourism was the lowest, at only 20 thousand dollars. Additionally, the figures for administration, transport, and retail/shops were over 40, around 45, and 39 thousand dollars, respectively.
The next decade saw significant growth in yearly income per full-time person working in financial services, from 117 to about 130 thousand dollars, almost double the second greatest, telecommunications, at around 70 thousand dollars. While the figure for administration saw a slight increase, to around 43, that of tourism went down minimally, to approximately 19 thousand dollars. Furthermore, both the figures for transport and retail/shops had an upward trend, but to varying degrees. Retail/shops increased substantially to over 50 thousand dollars, around 2 thousand less than the average annual earnings per employee in transport, at about 52 thousand.
Moreover, the average salary for all sectors experienced a 6-thousand-dollar increase, from 44,000 in 2000 to 50,000 in 2010.
