The pie chart illustrate the percentage of male and female workers employed in manual and non-manual occupations in Great Britian in 1992.
Overall, women in Great Britain were more likely to be employed in non-manual occupations, whereas men tended to work in manual jobs. In addition, clerical and related work accounted for the largest proportion of female employment, while managerial and professional positions and craft-related jobs were the most common occupations among men.
Regarding manual jobs, craft or similar occupations were by far more popular among males, accounting for roughly a quarter of male workers, compared with only 3% of females. By contrast, the proportion of general labourers was the lowest for both genders, at just 2% for men and 1% for women. Meanwhile, the figures for other manual work were relatively similar, representing 26% of male employees and 27% of female employees.
Turning to non-manual occupations, clerical and related work was the most common category among women, making up 31% of female employment, whereas only 6% of men worked in this field. Managerial and professional positions also accounted for substantial shares in both groups, at 29% for women and 36% for men. Finally, the proportion of workers in other non-manual jobs was comparatively small, comprising 9% of females and 6% of males.
