The two pie charts provide a visual representation about employment status in United Kingdom in years 1988 and 2012 based on two categories, gender and type of their contract (full=time, part-time).

The majority of the both charts are occupied by men who are working full-time. In 1988 53% of employees were men who were working full-time, and as the data shows, it's counterpart in 2012 was 47%. On the other hand, the next biggest portion in 1988 belongs to women who worked part-time, however in 2012 it's different and women with full-time jobs are in the second place.
The third biggest segment in 1988 which is shown in orange, demonstrates the rate of women who were fully occupied with 19% of all and the least rate belongs to men who were part-time workers with only 6% of the total employees. In 2012 there is one different point and as it can be observed, the part-time occupied women took part in third place but as same as in 1988, the part-time men jobs were the least occupied by only 7%.
