The stacked bar chart shows generational workforce composition by manufacturing sub sectors in percent. The vertical axis ranges from 0 percent to 100 percent in increments of 10 percent. The horizontal axis lists industries from left to right as “Food Product Manufacturing”, “Furniture and Other Manufacturing”, “Wood Product Manufacturing”, “Manufacturing, n f d”, “Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing”, “Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing”, “Transport Equipment Manufacturing”, “Primary Metal and Metal Product Manufacturing”, “Textile, Leather, Clothing and Footwear Manufacturing”, “Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing”, “Non-Metallic Mineral Product Manufacturing”, “Polymer Product and Rubber Product Manufacturing”, “Basic Chemical and Chemical Product Manufacturing”, “Petroleum and Coal Product Manufacturing”, “Printing (including the Reproduction of Recorded Media)”, and “Pulp, Paper and Converted Paper Product Manufacturing”. Each bar is divided into four stacked segments labeled “Gen Z”, “Gen Y”, “Gen X”, and “B B”, as shown in the legend. The bar values for each industry from left to right, in the order “Gen Z”, “Gen Y”, “Gen X”, and “B B”, are as follows: Food Product Manufacturing: 17 percent, 39 percent, 34 percent, 10 percent. Furniture and Other Manufacturing: 16 percent, 35 percent, 34 percent, 15 percent. Wood Product Manufacturing: 15 percent, 35 percent, 37 percent, 13 percent. Manufacturing, n f d: 13 percent, 36 percent, 38 percent, 13 percent. Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing: 13 percent, 35 percent, 39 percent, 13 percent. Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing: 13 percent, 42 percent, 34 percent, 11 percent. Transport Equipment Manufacturing: 13 percent, 38 percent, 37 percent, 12 percent. Primary Metal and Metal Product Manufacturing: 13 percent, 35 percent, 39 percent, 13 percent. Textile, Leather, Clothing and Footwear Manufacturing: 12 percent, 28 percent, 40 percent, 20 percent. Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing: 10 percent, 38 percent, 38 percent, 14 percent. Non-Metallic Mineral Product Manufacturing: 10 percent, 37 percent, 40 percent, 13 percent. Polymer Product and Rubber Product Manufacturing: 10 percent, 33 percent, 42 percent, 15 percent. Basic Chemical and Chemical Product Manufacturing: 9 percent, 40 percent, 41 percent, 10 percent. Petroleum and Coal Product Manufacturing: 8 percent, 36 percent, 42 percent, 14 percent. Printing (including the Reproduction of Recorded Media): 8 percent, 32 percent, 43 percent, 17 percent. Pulp, Paper and Converted Paper Product Manufacturing: 7 percent, 32 percent, 44 percent, 17 percent. The legend identifies the stacked segments as Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X, and B B.
