Great graphic that displays the economic transformation that has occurred since 1900 based on the industry composition of the stock market. 

From Visual Capitalist: 

Questions:

• What industry has seen the most dramatic decline since 1900? Can you explain the change in that industry? 
• Which industry has seen the largest increase (and didn't even exist in 1900)?

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
