AbstractPublic-service activities are
funded, located and administered by governments. The map shows
the difference between the actual employment in all public-service
activities and the expected level, based on the city's population.
Unlike the various commercial sectors, the consumption of public-sector
services is not closely related to income levels, so the expected
levels of employment depend mainly on population size. Cities with
more public-sector jobs than expected are specialized; those with
negative values are deficient. In general, smaller cities are more
likely to have high or low levels of public-sector specialization,
since large cities tend to provide the full range of service activities
and therefore have less specialization in services.
