The provided line graph compares and contrast data on the changes in South Korea’s figures for 3 separate sector of employment namely service, agriculture, industry over a 30-year period from 1981 and 2011.
Overall, it is clear to see that there were great shifts in the employment rates of workers in the service and agriculture sector, meanwhile, the industrial workforce remains relatively constant. Employees in the service sector kept the highest rank among three figures mentioned whereas the percentage of industrial worker in South Korea dropped significantly over the period studied.
Furthermore, in 1981, the gaps between the 3 job sectors were minimal. The proportion of employees in service was the dominant with approximately 40% in the first year of the period, followed by the rate of labor in agriculture, reaching nearly 33% in 1981. On the other hand, the South Korean industrial workers accounted for only 28% in 1981, which is the lowest figure compared to two remaining sectors. In the next 10 years, small upward growths were seen in the service and industry sectors, each increased by 5%, representing roughly 45% and 35% respectively. Whereas, there was a significant decline in the figure for agriculture, down to 20% over a 10-year period from 1981 to 1991.
In the remaining time, service was the only employment sector to gain proportions, which surged dramatically and reached almost 70% of the total workforce in 2011. By contrast, the agricultural workers in South Korea fell steadily to nearly 15% until 2006 and plummeted remarkably in the last 5 years to hit the lowest point of 7% by the end of the period. After 1991, a downward trend was witnessed in the industry sector, going down gradually by 30% in 2001 and back near to its original starting point of 26%.
