The graph below shows the contribution of three sectors-agriculture, manufacturing, and business and financial services-to the UK economy in the twentieth century.
The bar chart displays the three various contributing sectors, namely horticulture, manufacture, and business and finance towards the UK economy over 100 years.
Overall, the most successful sector was agriculture in the first 50 years, but it is one of the least contributions at the end of the twentieth century. For the business and finance, the pattern reversed that was the topmost contributing sector in 2000.
It is apparent from the graph that almost half of the proportion was the agricultural sector in 1900, and it had risen slightly to just above 50% after 50 years, and then followed by a dramatic decline with a negligible amount of above 2% to reach a lesser involvement than any other sectors at the end of 2000.
