Model Answer

The given pie chart and line graph depict the total workforce in Australia and also the unemployment rate among the given three workforce groups, between 1998 and 2003. It is clear that the English-speaking non-natives of Australia had the highest unemployment rate.

The pie chart clearly shows that the native Australians had slightly over three quarters share of the workforce in Australia. By contrast, the English-speaking immigrants constituted one in ten share of the workforce. The non-English speaking people made up 13% of the total workforce.

The line graph depicts that among the total workforce, the non-English speakers had the unemployment rate of 4% in 1998. However, this decreased gradually and reached an all time low of 1% by 2003. The native Australians also saw a decrease in unemployment rate from 4% to 2% in the given 5 years. However, there was a small upsurge of unemployment in 1999. The non-native English speakers had the highest unemployment of 8% in 1998. There was a slight fall in the unemployment rate till 2001, but after that there was a sharp downfall till 2003 to 3%. In between there were fluctuations.

Overall, although the non-English speaking workers constituted the least share of the workforce, they had the maximum employment rate.
