The pie charts illustrate the proportion of males and females working in non-manual and manual occupations in Great Britain in 1992.
Overall, it is evident that while a higher percentage of female workers engaged in non-manual work, males tended to work in manual jobs. It is also notable that the share of general laborer occupations was consistently the lowest figure among both genders.
In terms of the manual occupations, male employees were dominant in craft or similar jobs, accounting for nearly a quarter of male workers, significantly higher than their female counterparts (3%). In contrast, general laborers constituted the least share in both genders, at only 1% of females and 2% of males. The percentage of men and women was fairly identical in terms of other manual jobs, just over a quarter.
As for non-manual jobs, 30% of female workers were employed in clerical and related occupations, over five times as many as the proportion of men (6%). Similarly, there was a considerable percentage of both males and females in managerial and professional categories, amounting to 36% and 29%, respectively. Meanwhile, the other non-manual jobs took up only 6% of men and 9% of women.
