Employment in industry (% of total employment)Neither end is better — this is a shape, not a scorePublished by International Labour Organization (ILO)
35 reference years (1991–2025), covering 182 to 187 countries, produced by the ILO and pulled through the World Bank’s indicator API (SL.IND.EMPL.ZS). The share of working people employed in mining, manufacturing, construction and utilities. ⚠ NEITHER END IS BETTER — this is the structure of an economy, not its performance, and the same 20% can be a de-industrialising rich country or an industrialising poor one. Read beside employment in agriculture and services, which with this one account for all employment. ⚠ MODELLED, not measured, so one definition applies to every country. ⚠ The ILO ranks nobody, so no rank is stored; the POSITION on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score and labelled as ours.

The share of working people employed in mining, manufacturing, construction and utilities — an ILO modelled estimate served through the World Bank's indicator API (SL.IND.EMPL.ZS). ⚠ Neither end is better: this is the structure of an economy, not its performance. Read it beside the agriculture and services shares, which together with this one account for all employment. Modelled rather than measured, so that one definition applies to every country. The ILO does not rank countries on it, so no rank is stored and none is derived.
