over a 50-year period in the United States. Looking from an overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that agriculture
has and will continue to decline greatly from being the most to least common occupation, while
the opposite is true for service jobs. The trend for manufacturing is less consistent though it is anticipated to be roughly stable overall

In 1975, the vast majority of workers
(60 million
) were farmers, a figure in stark contrast to those in manufacturing (9 million
) and agriculture
(10 million
). After a two-year period with little change for all jobs, there was a steep decline in the number of agricultural workers

by 1979. In the same year, the data for service workers
began to rise consistently, with an expected peak of 90 million
by 2025.
In comparison, workers
in agriculture
have fallen at varying rates and the final statistic is anticipated to be just over 10 million
by 2025. The number for manufacturing rose to 40 million
in 1980, where
the figures for all categories converged, before a rapid decline that will continue to 2025 and end at 10 Correct word choice
