the line chart compares employment rate

the line chart compares employment rate YkEEB

The given line chart details information about the percentages of employed people in three economic sectors in the UK over a decade from 2000 to 2010. Overall, it can be inferred from the figures that there were upward trends in both the proportion of people in the public and self-employment sectors, while people who worked in the private area witnessed a considerable fall over the period in question. Another striking highlight is that the rate of employment in the private sector had the highest figure in 2000, but in 2010, there was a substantial change in position that was the number of public sector employees became the front-runner compared to the others. Turning into the details, as regards the public areas, the percentage began at nearly 40% in 2000 and stayed constant at this figure until 2002. Following this, there was a steady rise to just under 50% in 2005, after which it dipped slightly by around 5% in 2006. Subsequently, the proportion recovered and climbed gradually in the next years, finishing at around 52% in 2010. The figure reached a peak in the first ten years of the 21st century. If we look at the self-employed sector, it also got a similar pattern. The rate of employees stood at a very low level of approximately 18% in 2000, and then there was a marginal fluctuation between 18% and 20% in the first five years. The percentage then grew significantly, reaching a peak of 30% of employees in 2010. On the other side, the figure of the private sector went in the opposite direction. Despite being at the highest point in 2000, the proportion of people who were employed in this area then experienced a continuous decline throughout the period, ending at roughly 20% at the end of the period.
