The graph compares how the contribution of agriculture, manufacturing, and business and financial services had changed between 1900 and 2000. Overall, non-financial sectors appear to decline over the years, while financial services seemed to be the trend until 2000.
Both agriculture and manufacturing started out strong in the early 1900s at nearly 50% and 45%, comprising the majority of the British economy up until 1950, where business and financial services started to dominate the economy.
However, there was a sudden drop in agriculture to about 10% by 1975, with manufacturing being the most dominant sector at approximately 35%. By the mid-1970s, financial services saw a significant increase in contribution, rising to 20% and ending the period as the sector with the highest contribution at about 35%. From this point onwards, both agriculture and manufacturing continued to decline, falling to their lowest point and ending the twentieth century at just under 5% and about 15% respectively.
To sum it up, the first half of the twentieth century economy was dominated by agriculture and manufacturing, which was then overtaken by the business and financial sector at the end of the century.
