DRILL

1. On the back of yesterday’s handout, label the graph with the following:– Title the graph “Employment by Sectors”– Y-axis “Percent of Total”– X-axis “Year”

2. The y-axis values begin at 0 and increase in increments of 10

3. The x-axis values begin at 1650 and increase in increments of 50 years
