The X axis shows the percentage shares and the Y axis captures change over time. In 1600 roughly 65% of men worked in agriculture, 28% in secondary industries, 7% in tertiary services and a negligible number in the mining sector. By 1720 roughly equal numbers of men, about 40% in each sector, work in industry and in agriculture, while services have expanded more slowly to 12% and mining remains small. By 1860 both industry and services have overtaken agriculture, which employs only 20% of male workers. The share of the labour force in agriculture carries on falling subsequently and services continue to grow as a share, until services and industry reach parity in the 1920s. Then, after 1970, services take off and industry declines as a proportion of the total. By 2011, the services sector employs 75% of the male workforce, industry roughly 23% and mining and agriculture a very small amount each. Taken as a whole the graph shows a dramatic transformation in the male labour force with agriculture declining throughout the period, industry rising to overtake it, followed by services, industry then subsequently declining, while mining experiences a much slower increase, peaking at about 7% in the 1920s before tailing off to a very small share by 2011.
