The graph shows information about the percentage of the employed people in

the three economic sectors, in the UK over a ten-year period between 2000 and
2010.
Overall, it can be seen that the employment proportion of public and self-
employed sectors increased over the period given, while for private sector, it
went down. At the start of the period, the percentage of employed people was
highest in private sectors, which was replaced by public sector in the final years.
Turning to details, as regards public sector, the employment rates began at
approximately 40% in 2000, and then remained stable in the next two years, at
which point there was a rapid rise to around 50% in 2005 before falling to 45%
in 2006. After that, the proportion saw a steady increase year on year, and hit to
over 50% in 2010. As for the self-employed one, the employment percentage
started at just under 20% in 2000. Next, there was a slight fluctuation until
2005. Following this, the figure grew gradually, finishing at 30% in 2010.
By contrast, having reached a peak at approximately 50% in the first year, the
employment rates in the private sector then dropped to about 40% in 2002. This
figure, which leveled off one year later, plummeted in the final years to 20% in
2010.
