The share of workers employed in mining, manufacturing, utilities and construction.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2021 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of employment
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.
