The pie charts below show how employment is divided in Tanzania and Ireland.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The information in the pie charts shows the relative importance of different types of employment in two very different countries.
In Tanzania, agriculture employs by far the most people. Nearly four out of five (79%) work in this sector, whereas only two percent of Irish people are in agriculture. In Ireland, the largest employer is the service sector, where over 70% of the population work. In Tanzania, the figure is only 14.2%, despite the fact that Tanzania has a significant tourist trade, and this is included in the services figure.
Although manufacturing is quite significant in Ireland, employing over a fifth (21.5%) of the population, not many people are employed in this sector in Tanzania. Other industries are not very significant in either country. Construction, for example, is less than 5% in Ireland, but is even less important in Tanzania, with only a very small number of people (0.6%) employed in this industry. There is also some employment in the energy and water industries in Ireland. However, this is not mentioned in the Tanzania data.
