The bar chart portraits the total number of employees in five distinct fields, namely sales, accounting, computing, nursing and farming in two separate years, 2001 and 2008.
Overall, sales were the most attractive occupation over the years, while there were fewer individuals relying on farming for a livelihood. It is also noticeable that in 2008, the number of workers recruited in these fields was mostly higher than the figure recorded in 2001.
In 2001, approximately 160,000 employees were found working as salespeople, becoming the most contemporary ubiquitous job. However, the number of accountants, computer staff, and nurses was relatively low, which were around 60,000 people. Notably, the lowest figure was witnessed in farming, which attracted over 20,000 workers.
In the remaining year, sales recorded an increasing population in their staff and persisted in leading the chart with over 160,000 people performing their tasks in this field, followed by a decrease to 60,000 in the number of accountants. In contrast, the popularity of computing and nursing rose slightly, with 80,000 and 60,000 members in the society opting for working in these areas. In addition, farming remained the least popular category, with a drop to solely 20,000 farmers.
