The line chart shows the trends of employment in the USA and predictions to the future.

The given graph illustrates three categories in terms of employment patterns over a 50-year period in the United States. Looking from an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that there were significant changes in the number of individuals working in manufacturing,

services

, and

agriculture

.

While

agriculture

and manufacturing continue to decline greatly,

services

experience an opposite trend between the years 1975 and 2025. In 1975,

agriculture

accounted for the vast majority of workers with 80

million

,

while

the data for manufacturing and

services

was much lower, at around 10

million

. Over the following 5 years, the number of employees working in

services

and manufacturing rose by around 30

million

, but the figure for

agriculture

saw a steep decline to 40

million

. The data for all categories converged gradually in the same year. From 1980 to 2025, workers in

agriculture

and manufacturing have fallen at varying rates by 30

million

.

By contrast

,

services

registered a substantial increase in the number of individuals of approximately 50

million

. By 2025, the data for service workers will reach a peak at 90

million

,

while

the respective figure for employees working in manufacturing and

agriculture

will reduce rapidly to around 10

million

.
