Band 8.5 Model Answer

The two pie charts show information about employment in Manufacturing, Hospitality, Engineering and Teaching in 2 towns in the years 2009 and 2020.

Overall, it can be clearly seen that there was a significant increase in the number of people employed in Manufacturing in Town A, while Town B experienced a substantial decline in the same sector.

Taking a closer look at Town A, the amount of people employed in the Manufacturing sector tripled from 20% in 2009 to 60% in 2020, while the Engineering sector experienced a sharp decrease during the same period, from 60% to 17%, in an inverse pattern to Manufacturing sector’s figures. The changes to Hospitality and Teaching sectors’ employment were quite minor in both years, with Hospitality slightly increasing from 11% to 15% and Teaching staff numbers shrinking from 9% to 8%.

Moving on to Town B, Hospitality and Teaching experienced growth of similar proportions, with Teaching increasing twofold from 10% in 2009 to 20% in 2020 and Hospitality slightly less, from 15% in 2009 to 20% in 2020. The Manufacturing sector witnessed a large reduction in figures, from 40% to 25%, while Engineering had no changes.
