The tabular data depicts how many people worked in 4 certain divisions in the UK in 1998 and 2006.
First of all, in 1998, the major proportion of young people (over 100, 000) preferred to work in building sector which kept on decreasing with age. The figures for this sector had fewer workers overall in 2006 though it retained a similar age profile to that of 1998. Similarly, in hotel and catering, the age of workers used to be much younger in 1998, with the majority of workers being under 35. In 2006, the majority of people were between 26 and 45, with more workers in the over-46 category ( four thousand more in each category) than in 1998 and fewer in under 25s.
Whereas the other 2 workplaces had either a fluctuating or an increasing trend. Amongst them, the technology industry has seen an enormous change with substantially more workers now than in 1998, but the vast majority of these were still in the 26-35 age band which were under 65, 000 and around 450, 000 respectively). The numbers in education have not changed that much within each age category, although there are now fewer workers in the over-56 age group with a difference of over 20, 000 which became half.
Overall, it can be seen that hotel and catering as well as building had dropped in the later ages and also in 2006. Whereas middle-aged people were preferring to work in technology and education field with the overall highest figure seen for technology for the 26-35 age group.
