farming and manufacturing during the century.
On the other hand
, the office-work services seem to be steadily increasing. When looking at all the grouped bars together, it's visible that the distribution has gotten a bit smaller. The first two time frames are quite similar to each other. The agriculture bar is moving around the 50% mark during the 1900s and 1950s
whereas
the manufacturing bar is moving around the 40% line. At that time, the business and financial services are still a fraction of the sections with less than 10%. In the third and fourth quarters of the twentieth century, the business and financial sector is picking up the pace and the contribution first jumps to around 20% and
then
later to just under 40%. At the same time, agriculture drops to 10%, which makes it the lowest contribution.
