The line graph illustrates the number of job opportunities available in four sectors of the US economy over a 40-year period.
Overall, while the number of jobs in the retail and healthcare sectors increased consistently, with noticeably higher figures, the reverse was true for manufacturing and agriculture. Notably, manufacturing experienced the highest peak, which no other sector was able to surpass.
Between 1960 and 1980, the number of jobs in the retail and healthcare sectors doubled, rising from 5 million to 10 million and approximately 2.5 million to 5 million, respectively. They continued with a 5-million increase until 2000, after which the figures for retail remained almost unchanged, while those for healthcare continued to rise, ending the period with a staggering 15 million job opportunities, matching the retail sector.
By contrast, the remaining categories bucked the foregoing trend. Although the job opportunities in manufacturing increased from 1960 to 1980, with 15million and 20 million, respectively, this trend was reversed over the next period and it ended with approximately 13 million. Agriculture followed the same pattern with retail initially, but diverged later. It had 5 million jobs initially, but this number halved, falling from 5 million to 2.5 million. From 1980 onwards. it remained stable until the end of the period.
