- Over the last 170 years the industries we work in have changed. Developments in technology and other social factors have changed the way we work and the types of work that we do. Leading us to the shape of the industrial landscape today where, in 2011, services were the dominant industries in England and Wales and less than one in 100 people worked in agriculture.
