I decided to write this down because I kept thinking of it every moment. What is it ? Its about pictures and images of circles flashing in my mind. So what are in these charts, why are they so important ?
 
 

A circle can represent things like market share, percentages of a particular source or proportions of statistics data. It can show very clearly each type of sources and their % they hold against the total figures, by looking at the size of the pie.

Why love them? The charts reminds me of how well the job market looks like in terms of jobs sectors and industries.

If it is a big share, it means I can move about through different companies or industries, depending on my trade.
