The diagram illustrates the share of manual and non-manual work in both male and female categories in Great Britain in 1992.
Overall, the proportion of male employees in manual work was significantly higher than female employees, and the opposite was true for non-manual work. The most common employment among female workers was clerical or related work and managerial and professional work for the male group.
There were three manual works (craft or similar, general laborers, and other manuals). The share for craft and similar employment was almost the same in both males and females with 27% and 26%, respectively. Similarly, the proportion of general laboureres was 1 % for the female group and 2% for the male group. However, the share for other manual works differed by far in 3% in the females and 24% in the males.
Moreover, there were three non-manual works as well (managerial and professional, clerical or related, and other non-manual). The proportion of managerial and professional work was 7% less in the females compared to the males, which had 36%. There was a remarkable difference between the share of clerical or related occupations in the males and the females with 6% and 31% respectively. Finally, the percentage of other non-manual jobs was nearly the same 6% in the male group and 9 % in the female group.
