The Service Industries

Photos of service industriesIt is likely that you, or someone in your family, works in one of the service industries. The service industries do not produce goods; instead they distribute them, finance them, or provide services for business or consumers. Service activities include trade (wholesale and retail), financial services (banks, insurance companies, etc.), business services (accountants, consultants, etc.), leisure services (restaurants and recreation), personal services (dry cleaners, travel agents, etc.), and public services (education, health and government). All together these economic sectors employed almost nine million people in the year 1996.
