Overall, the industrial sector experienced the fastest growth and by the end of 2010, almost 38 percent of people worked in this sector. In contrast, the farming, fishing, and forecasting sector, although in 1930 employed nearly 80 percent of the Americans, at the end of 2010 that percentage has plummeted to 2 percent roughly.

One the other hand, the sales and office, and the other services sectors are the two areas, which fluctuated a little but at the end of the time period remained at the same percentage as the one they were at the beginning.
