The diagram illustrates the proportion of UK’s workers in five different sectors:

manufacturing, services, agriculture/ fishing, construction, and energy/water in the

two years 1841 and 2011.Overall, while the percentages of workers in services and
construction increased during the period, the opposite is true for the remaining
industries.

It is striking that the rate of people who works in services was 33 percent in 1841.
However, this number rose in 2011, to 81% of the total, which is more than twice
as much as those in 1841. Remarkably, the number of people in services occupied
the biggest rate in total industry. In addition, there was a slight ascend in the
construction workforce from 1984 to 2011, with 5% and 8% respectively.

According to the data, there was a significant fall in the other area. The rate of
works in manufacturing was 36% and 9% in 1841 and 2011... Besides, the number
of workers involved in food production witnessed a rise in the period, to 22% and
1%. Additionally, there was a minimal rise in the energy/ water industry’s
percentage from 3% to 1% in 2011. Moreover, this number was the lowest point in
2011.
