The two pie charts provide information about the proportion of males and females employed in different types of occupations in the UK in 1992.
Overall, managerial and professional as well as craft or similar occupations were the most popular among both genders, particularly among men in Britain, whereas general labourers and other non-manual jobs accounted for the smallest percentages. In addition, clerical or related positions were much more common among females than males, while other manual jobs showed the opposite trend, being significantly more popular among men.
In terms of clerical or related occupations, females in the UK made up about 31%, compared to only 6% for males in 1992. Similarly, a slightly higher percentage of females worked in craft or similar jobs (just above 27%) than males (around 26%). Meanwhile, the proportion of females employed in other non-manual work was also higher than that of males (around 9% and 6%, respectively).
On the other hand, most males (around 36%) worked in managerial and professional roles, making it the most common occupation for men, as opposed to females (at 29%). Employment in other manual jobs among males (just over 24%) was eight times higher than that of females (only 3%). Moreover, 2% of men worked as general labourers, which was 1% higher than the proportion of women in the same category.
