The illustrations present four different types of workforce in Town A across two distinct years: 2009 and 2020. Overall, the data highlights the proportions of employees working in various sectors, including manufacturing, hospitality, engineering, and teaching. In both years, engineering and manufacturing emerged as the leading sectors, each holding the same percentage of employees, while teaching experienced a slight decrease and remained in a disadvantaged position.
In 2009, engineering was the most popular sector of employment, with a remarkable 60% of the workforce engaged in this field. However, over the ensuing 11 years, it saw a significant decline of 43%. In contrast, manufacturing, which was the second-largest sector, increased its workforce significantly and became the leading sector by 2020.
In Town A, the proportion of workers in the hospitality sector held a middle position, accounting for 11% in 2009. By 2020, this figure rose to 15%, which was not the worst outcome for that year. As previously mentioned, the percentage of employees choosing the teaching sector was 8%, showing only a modest growth of 1% over the same period.
