The bar chart compares average annual full-time earnings across six different work sectors in a particular country in 2000 and 2010, and the table shows the overall average salary across all sectors for the same two years. Overall, average salaries rose across all six sectors over the decade, pushing the national average up from $44,000 to $50,000. Financial Services was consistently the highest-paying sector by a significant margin, while Tourism remained the lowest-paid throughout the period. In detail, workers in Financial Services earned around $115,000 in 2000, with this figure rising to nearly $130,000 by 2010, well above the national average in both years. Telecommunications was the second highest-paid sector, with salaries increasing from roughly $60,000 to about $70,000. By contrast, Tourism salaries were the lowest, growing from just $20,000 in 2000 to $22,000 ten years later, far below the overall average.
