The charts below give information about workforce composition in the UK, and about average hourly earnings. (1) Employees on adult rates, pay unaffected by absence.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie chart and bar chart show the proportion of men and women doing full-and part-time work in the UK, comparing the amount earned by each of these groups in 2010.
Of a total workforce of nearly 25 million, just over half are men, the majority working in full-time employment. In contrast, women make up 49% of the workforce and are more likely than men to have a part-time job, 21% of the total compared to only 6% of the total for men.
The figures for average hourly pay are noticeably greater for full-time work than part-time work. Interestingly, men with full-time jobs earn slightly more than women, £13 an hour compared to almost £12 an hour.
However, for part-time work the opposite is true, with women earning an average of £8 an hour, a little more than part-time men.
Overall, the information in the charts shows small but significant differences between the different groups in the workforce.
