The two pie charts depicted compare employment patterns in Great Britain by sex in 2010. The highest employment area for males is “managerial & professional”, recorded at 38.0%, while “other manuals” for females are the highest, recorded at 32.0%. Overall, both “other manual” employment areas and “managerial & professional” report high percentages of both male and women employment.
The male employment field is dominated by “managerial & professional” work, accounting for 38.0% of males in Great Britain circa 2010. The second highest reported employment field for males is “other manual” work at 28.0%. The percentage for this field of work is comparable to the female employment fields, with “other manual” being reported as 32.0%–higher than the males but similar overall. The final dominating field for males is “craft or similar” work, being reported at 21.0%, a stark contrast to the reported female employment in the same field (4.5%).
In the female employment field, “other manual” work is also at a recorded high–the highest employment pattern for females–at 32.0%. In contrast to male employment patterns, the second highest employment field for females is “clerical & related” work at 30.0%; while for males it is recorded only at 5.0%. In comparison to other employment fields, “other non-manual” work is relatively average for both sexes, with the males recorded at 6.0% and females at 11.0%. Females also show a relatively large amount of employment in “managerial & professional” work at 22.0%, though not comparable to 38.0% percent reported males.
Overall, both sexes have high recorded employment patterns in “other manual” work and “managerial & professional” work. However, males make up more of the “craft or similar” workforce, while women make up more of the “clerical & related” workforce. This is the largest difference between employment patterns in both sexes in Great Britain (2010).
