Overall, while the number of people engaged in agriculture witnessed a dramatic decline, the trend of services skyrocketed and become the most popular. In contrast, the number of individuals involved manufacturing remained nearly the same after variations.
Examining the manufacturing and the services, it is evident that both experienced almost the identical progression. However it changed in approximately 1978, when services continued its upward trend, but manufacturing begun to decrease steadily. Finally, the services will reach roughly 90 millions workers by nearly 2025 and the manufacturing will stand at nearly at its starting point with 10 millions of employees in the same year.
Shifting focus to the niche of agriculture, it can be seen that it remained stable by 80 millions for nearly 2 years. After this, there was a dramatical drop to around 42 million in approximately 1979, followed by a continuous downtrend, similar to manufacturing’s, eventually reaching its low of nearly 10 millions by approximately 2025.
