The charts below show the percentage of workers in three sectors across four countries in 1980 and 2010.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The provided charts compare the proportion of labourers in the field of
agriculture
,
industry
and services in four countries:
Germany
, the United States (US),
Japan
, and
China
, both in 1980 and 2010.
Overall
,
China
has the highest number in
agriculture
, whilst
Germany
remains the least contributor in
this
field;
then
after 30 years,
Germany
's
industry
experiences a considerable increase,
although
its enthusiasm for
agriculture
keeps falling. Looking at the whole data, it can be seen that
Industry
is always the most popular occupation for people in the given years. In 1980,
China
's
agriculture
sector
had a significant quantity of workers at around 70%,
while
this
sector
was not an attractive choice for three other countries.
Moreover
, the
industry
sector
secured the first position in
Germany
, accounting for 60%. Followed by the USA and
Japan
which shared similar percentages at approximately 50% and
China
at 40%.
Furthermore
, services in
Germany
, the USA and
China
remained at the same figure at virtually 50%, with
Japan
merely having just below 40%.
On the other hand
, in 2010, it is obvious that the
industry
sector
had a considerable growth of participants, reaching nearly 80% in
Germany
and
Japan
;
then
tailed by the USA at 70% and
China
at 40%.
However
, the two other employments underwent downturns.
