The line graph compares the number of jobs in four various sectors of the economy in the US from 1960 to 2020.

It can be concluded from the graph that the start rates are very different compared to the final rates. While healthcare showed a dramatic rise, agriculture, on the contrary, fell sharply.

Of the four sectors of the economy, manufacturing had the most number of jobs, with 15 million in 1960. While agriculture and retail started at 6 million, healthcare had about 2 million jobs. In 1980, manufacturing reached a peak of 20 million. The rates of healthcare and retail doubled, with 5 million and 10 million respectively. Agriculture had a decrease of 50%.

For the next forty years, there was an enormous increase in the number of healthcare and retail, they went up to 16 million. Manufacturing declined to 17 million in 2000, and to 13 million in 2020. The figure of agriculture was not changed for twenty years, and in 1980, it decreased to 2 million.
