It 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.
