The bar chart compares how many people were employed in five different sectors (sales, accounting, computing, nursing and farming) in a particular region of Australia in 2001 and 2008. Overall, sales was the largest employment sector in both years, while farming had the fewest workers. While employment figures rose for sales, computing and nursing over the period, the number of people working in accounting and farming declined. In 2001, around 155,000 people were employed in sales, and this figure increased to nearly 170,000 by 2008, remaining the highest among the five categories. Computing saw the most significant growth, from roughly 58,000 workers to around 80,000. There was also a small rise in the number of nurses, from about 57,000 to just over 60,000. By contrast, the number of people working in accounting fell from approximately 67,000 to 58,000. The biggest drop was seen in farming, where the employment figure nearly halved from 30,000 in 2001 to only 18,000 in 2008, making it the least popular sector by the end of the period. （全文，符合字数要求）
