The utility’s percent change from 2010 to 2020 is a decrease of 4.07%

How many years are between 2010 and 2020?

There are 10 years in between 2010 and the year 2020, which means that the total decline over a period of 10 years is the annual decrease multiplied by 10.

Total decrease in 10 years=2.6*10

Total decrease in 10 years=26.0

Utility industry jobs in 2020=639.5-26.0

Utility industry jobs in 2020=613.5

The percentage change 2010-2020=(2020 jobs/2010 jobs)-1

The percentage change 2010-2020=(613.5/639.5)-1

The percentage change 2010-2020=-4.07%
