The table below compares the number of people employed in ten different working sectors who were
surveyed in three different age groups ranging from 18 to 65.
Overall, it is clear that all three age groups distribute randomly, with the highest people in the
manufacturing sector, followed by other areas such as the health sector and the like. Furthermore, the
majority of young people work in retail, whereas the majority of the elderly work in manufacturing.
Manufacturing is the most popular among people over 40, with 23 people hired, more than doubling the
number of young people. Similarly, 18 workers in the oldest age group work in local government,
compared to only 8 in the youngest age group. Education and agriculture exhibit a similar pattern, albeit
on a smaller scale.
Retail and other industries, on the other hand, attract the most young workers. In terms of retail, this
age group gains 23 people, while the remaining 13 people are split fairly evenly between the two
remaining categories. Meanwhile, the number of people working in other industries decreases with age,
from 21 under 25 to 9 over 40.
Two of the abovementioned patterns are not mirrored in others. Catering and health employ slightly
more people between the ages of 25 and 40 than the other two age groups. Meanwhile, three age
groups each contribute four people to the legal sector. Conversely, each of the youngest and oldest age
groups has three accountants, while the rest of the ages have only two.
