The year-on-year increase suggests a consistent upward trend, with growth observed each year during this period.
Notably, this represents a positive trajectory compared to 2023, when the sector employed fewer individuals. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period reflects a modest and sustainable expansion in the wholesale trade sector.
