How to read this table
The breakdown by rows divides the total number of employed persons into specific economic sectors. These rows track which economic sectors remain the largest employers and which are changing their share in the overall employment structure. Comparing rows helps illustrate the distribution of labor resources between mining, agriculture, and other activities over the specified period
What is visible in these numbers
The five highest values: Total employed (73 636), Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles (11 599), Manufacturing (10 352), Education (7 148), Transportation and storage (6 528). The gap between the highest and lowest is 2 455 times. The top five account for 72.8% of the total across all categories — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 11 observation periods in the dataset. There are 220 values in the table out of 220 possible, which is 100% — missing values are virtually absent
