The line graph provides information about the comparison between the three

sectors

in the UK in terms of employee rates from 2000 to 2010.

Overall

, except for the private

sector

, all

sectors

of employment increased over the decade.

However

, the private

sector

saw a significant decline compared with all other

sectors

. At the beginning of the period, the

number

of employees in the private

sector

remained the highest until 2003, when it ranged from around 48 to 40, respectively.

This

downward slope continued until the year 2010, reaching about 20 employees and

therefore

placing

this

sector

last

of all others.

On the other hand

, the public

sector

had steady figures from 2000 to 2002 of approximately 39 workers,

then

saw a gradual increase from 2003 to 2005 ranging from 40 to 50, respectively. Except for a small dip in 2006, public employees reached a peak of over 50

at the end

of the era, topping the two other

sectors

.

Finally

, the

number

of self-employed people in the UK hovered over a decade. In 2001, there were only around 18 in

this

sector

, but they reached about 30 in the

last

year. Despite the slight decrease in

number

between 2002 and 2005, with roughly 17 self-employed as the lowest

number

,
