The bar chart provides information about how three various sectors (agriculture, manufacturing and business and financial services) contributed to the economy of the UK percentage-wise between 1900 and 2000.
Overall, the manufacturing sector experienced a downward trend, while business and financial services showed upward. The agriculture sector had some fluctuations. Although business and financial services initially had a lower rate, it outraced agriculture and manufacturing at the end of the period.
The agricultural segment contributed almost a half of the percentage in 1900 and went up slightly by around 4% in the next half-decade. However, it declined remarkably up to a one-tenth by the year 1975 and hitting a low-point merely around 2% in 2000.
In the year 1900, contribution by trade and financial services was just about 3%, and it rose marginally to approximately 10% in 1950. It further increased by 10% in next twenty-five years, when about a one-third of proportion was made up by manufacturing units. Business and financial services reversed the situation in a century and largely contributed to the UK economy at around 38% in the year 2000.
