The line graph depicts the information about the number of jobless people in the US and Japan during the period between March 1993 and March 1999. Units are measured in percentage of work force.
It can be concluded from the graph that the proportion of unemployed people in the US decreased over the time, while Japan witnessed a completely opposite trend in the unemployment rate. In addition, the number of people out of work was higher in the US in comparison to Japan.
As can be seen in the graph, in March 1993, 7% of American were unemployed in the US, whereas Japan’s rate stood at a mere 2.5%. However, the two countries witnessed contrast trends in the following years. While the proportion of the former started to decline moderately to roughly 5% in March 1996, that of the later registered a steady growth to approximately 3.5% in the same year.
From March 1996 to March 1999, the percentage of jobless people in the US fluctuated in a downward trend before falling to a low of 4% at the end of the given period. In contrast, the figure for Japan remained more or less the same at around 3.5% until March 1998, followed by a remarkable rise to reach to over 4.5% in the last year, marginally outnumbering the unemployment rate in the US.
