The bar chart provides information about the number of professions related to the tourism industry in a certain city of the UK from 1989 to 2009.
A general interpretation of the graph reveals that while the category of sport and leisure accounted for the highest figures across almost all years, travel and tour accounted for the least. In addition, a temporary shift in a familiar structure appeared in the second year.
Between 1989 and 1994, while sport and leisure decreased from 900 to 700 jobs, the other three categories increased from 1100, 1050 and 800 to 1300, 1400 and 1050 jobs respectively. By 1999, restaurant had reached 1400 jobs, which was the same as hotels in 1994. Hotels and travel and tour, however, declined to around 1250 and 900 jobs. Moreover, sport and leisure grew to approximately 1080 jobs.
In the following year, sport and leisure grew to 1600 jobs, which was the highest figure among all years. The other three fields dropped from 1250, 1080 and 900 to 1100, 900 and 700 jobs respectively. In the last year, travel and tour represented the lowest figure among all fields, reaching only 400 jobs, whereas sport and leisure remained unchanged. The other two fields decreased to 1300 and 700 jobs.
