•   Explain three reasons for changes and employment trends across sectors

  One reason for changes and employment trends is there is little raw materials in NI apart from trees for the timber industry and stone for quarrying. Few people are therefore needed in the primary industries

  Another reason is the standard of education is high in NI so many young people choose to follow professional careers rather than work in primary and secondary sectors

  The last reason is people are spending more time on leisure activities so entrepreneurs have moved to that market
