The bar chart below shows shares of expenditures for five major categories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan in the year 2009.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart compares how consumers in the United
States
,
Canada
, the United
Kingdom
, and
Japan
allocated different shares of total spending to categories
such
as
food
, housing, and
transportation
in 2009.
Overall
,
it is clear that
most of the consumers of the four countries spent more finance in Housing,
transportation
and
food
sectors rather than on the clothing and healthcare sectors. We can see that the United
States
had the highest housing expenditure
share
, 26% of total expenditures in 2009. The United
Kingdom
and
Japan
followed, with 24% and 22%, respectively.
Canada
had the lowest housing
share
at 21%. Housing was the largest expenditure component in all countries except
Japan
.
By contrast
,
Canada
had the largest
transportation
share
of all four countries at 20%. The United
States
and the United
Kingdom
had the next-highest
transportation
shares, 17% and 15%, respectively.
Japan
had the lowest, at 10%.
However
, in
Japan
, consumers spent 23% of their total expenditures on
food
in 2009. The United
Kingdom
had the second-highest
share
at 20%.
Canada
, with 15%, and the United
States
, with 14% had the lowest
food
expenditure shares among the
states
studied. Meanwhile, though they disbursed most finance for housing & and
food
purposes, the healthcare sector is always less considered. The USA spent more finance in health care sectors at 8% compared to other nations. In clothing,
Canada
outlaid above 5% of funds and England is the second nation who spent 5 per cent.
