The given table illustrates the percentage of young employees in various employment 
sectors in a particular country in 2005 and 2010. It is clear that some sectors became more 
popular in 2010 and in some the percentage of employees reduced.
Agriculture and transport sector were the least popular in both 2005 and 2010, with only 5% 
employed in each sector in 2005. However, in 2010, 8% were employed in agriculture, an 
increase of 3%, whereas only 4% got jobs in transport, a decrease of 1% from the figure of 
2005. In manufacturing and in shops, restaurants and hotels, almost equal proportion of 
young people worked (21% and 20% respectively). But in 2010, the percentage fell to 14% in 
manufacturing, whereas it rose to 32% in shops, restaurants and hotels, making it the most 
sought after sector to work in 2010. Social services was the most popular area among the 
young people in 2005, and almost a third (34%) worked in this sector, but this percentage 
declined to 22% in 2010. In business and other sectors (not mentioned in the graph), almost 
equal number worked in both the given years, with 7-8% working in 2005 and 10% each 
working in 2010. 
Overall, it is clear that transport, manufacturing and social services employed lesser number 
of young people in 2010 as compared to 2005, whereas in all other departments, the 
employment of youth increased.
