The given graph shows information about the number of people who had a job in three different fields of the economy over a ten-year period, between 2000 and 2010.
In general, what stands out from the graph is that there were upward trends in both public and self-employed sectors, while the private sector saw a substantial fall over the period in question.
Looking at the details, as for the public sector, the number of people employed started at just under 40 in 2000, then it leveled off over the next two years. And after that, there was a considerable fluctuation from 2003 to 2007, after which the figure went up gradually, finishing at around 50 in 2010. If we look at the self-employed sector, the trend was quite similar. Starting at just under 20, the number then increased slightly to exactly 20 in 2002. Next, despite witnessing a marginal fall in three subsequent years, the figure surged to nearly 30 in 2006. After that, there was a gradual increase over the following years, ending at approximately 30 in the last researched year.
By contrast, the figure of the private sector went in the opposite direction. Hitting a peak at just under 50 in 2000, then it followed a descending tendency throughout the given period, becoming the least concerned work segment among the three fields and reaching the lowest point of precisely 20 in the last researched year.
