CHANGING EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURES OVER TIME !!!!!
EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURES CAN ALSO CHANGES OVER TIME WITHIN THWE SAME COUNTRY,
IN THE UK IN THE YEAR 1800 MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN EMPLOYEDIN THE PRIMARY SECTOR. MANY PEOPLE WORKED ION THE LAND AND MADE THEIR LIVING FROM AGRICULTURAL AND RELATED PRODUCTS.
DURING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MORE PEOPLE WERE NEEDED TO BUILD SHIPS WORK IN STEEL MAKING AND WITH TEXTILES.ALL OF THESE JOBS ARE FOUND IN THE SECONDARY SECTOR.BY 1900 OVER HALF OF THE WORKERS IN THE UK WERE EMPLOYED IN SECONDARY INDUSTRIES.
SINCE 1900MECHANIZATION MEANT THAT LESS PEOPLE WERE REQUIRED TO WORK ON THE LAND AND IN INDUSTRY,AS MACHINES COULD CARRY OUT MOST OF THE WORK THAT PEOPLE PREVIOUSLY DID.FORGEIN INDUSTRIES ALSO BECAME MORE COMPETITIVE AND IMPORTS SUCH AS COAL BECAME MORE AFFORDABLE.AS THE AVAILABILITY OF COAL DECLINED IN THE UK AND ALSO BECAME MORE EXPENSIVE TO EXTRACT MORE COAL WAS IMPORTED. THIS LED TO A FURTHER DECLINE IN PRIMARY SECTOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE UK.
