Hello! @amira11545

Some suggestions for you.

Firstly, in the second paragraph, you can try to give more information or description.
For example, the figure for employees and factories roughly show and opposite trend. The workforce plummeted during 50 years, in which male employees outnumbered female employees in most years.On contrary, the number of factories rose dramatically from 1861 to 1871 and then fluctuated in the next three decades.

Second, in the third paragraph, the number of employees seems to decline significantly in the first decade and steadily decrease in the following years.

Finally, in the last paragraph, "continued increasing sharply" might be better than"continued to sharply increase"
"in the last year of the period." can also be put like this: "in the last ten-year period "

Good luck with your learning!
