The provided pie charts illustrate the proportion of American men and women employed in three distinct age categories (15-24, 25-54, and 55-64) during the years 1995, 2005, and 2015.
Overall, the 25-54 age group consistently represented the largest share of employment for both genders across all years. In contrast, the 55-64 age group maintained a stable and comparatively small percentage of the workforce throughout the period.
For men, the 25-54 age group showed a slight increase in employment, rising from 55% in 1995 to 58% by 2015. Conversely, the 15-24 age group experienced a decline, starting at 30% and falling to 27% over the twenty years. The 55-64 age group remained unchanged at 15% across all three recorded years.
Similarly, women in the 25-54 age bracket saw their employment percentage grow from 60% in 1995 to 63% in 2015, consistently higher than their male counterparts. The youngest female age group (15-24) also saw a decrease, from 25% to 22%. Like men, the 55-64 age group for women held steady at 15% throughout the entire period.
