The provided line graph depicts the employment trend as well as the future estimations in the USA.
As can be clearly seen, the service industry’s employees saw an increase, while the number of agricultural workers witnessed a decline. Additionally, manufacturing-related occupations fluctuated and all the jobs are predicted to continue their current trends.
Commencing with the figure for services workforce, it started in 1975 with 10 millions employees and experienced a gradual rise to 18 millions in 1979. Then this data climbed dramatically from 1979 to 1982 and is believed to continue to rise until 2025. In contrast, the number of farmers had a high beginning in 1975 with 80 million people and remained unchanged until 1977. However, it saw an opposite trend around 1997 and 1982 and this figure is forecasted to continue to decrease in the future.
Meanwhile, the proportion for manufacturing workers has a lower start than services with 9 million. But this data increased moderately to 18 million in 1979 and it went up significantly to 40 million in 1980, which is the peak throughout the period before falling back to 18 million in the last 2 years. Moreover, it’s presumed to decline even lower until 2025.
