Answer

The given charts represent the number of employed males and females in Freedonia in six different sectors, for two years 1975 and 1995.

To begin with, it can be seen that, for both the years, Public Sector and Wholesale and Retail are two major employment-giving sectors for Freedonia. Wherein,approximately 625 women were employed in Public Sector [non-defense] for both the years, the number of females rose from 500 in 1975 to around 800 females in 1995 for the Wholesale and Retail industry. Both these fields howeverhad almost the equal number of male workers for two years with 900 and 700 men respectively.

On the contrary, a large gap in working numbers was observedbetween men and women for Manufacturing  where around 700 males, nearly 400 more than women worked in the given time spans. Although,Communications and Finance/ Banking witnessed a fluctuating employability trend with men mostly dominating in 1975. Nevertheless women [600] were far ahead than men [300] for communications while the duo stood at par for the number of workers in Finance/ Banking field in the year 1995.

Thus to conclude, it is seen that all the employment sectors showed high degree of male employability except wholesale and retail and communications for the latter year. Public Sector [defense] had minimum participation for both the genders in the given years.


(This model answer can be followed as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.)
