The line graph shows the unemployment in Australia by place of birth in the period between 1993 and 2003, while the pie chart illustrates workforce in Australia by place of birth in 2003.
Overall, it is clear that unemployment fell in these three groups over the period, with workers born in English-speaking countries having the highest rate in this period. It is also clear that most of the workforce was born in Australia, while the other groups (NESC and ESC) made up much smaller proportions.
Focusing on the line graph first, unemployment among workers born in English-speaking countries other than Australia (ESC) stood at about 7% in 1993, which was the highest figure among the three groups. This fell steadily to around 4% in 1997 and finished at roughly 2.7% in 2003. In contrast, the rate for Australian-born workers began at approximately just under 4% and by the end declined gradually to about 2%. Workers born in non-English-speaking countries (NESC) had a similar starting point of around just under 4% but their rate dropped the most in the later years, reaching its lowest point of just 1% in 2003.
Turning to the pie chart, the vast majority of the Australian workforce in 2003, 76%, was born in Australia. NESC workers came next with 14% , while ESC workers made up the smallest share at only 10%.
