| The United States has moved beyond the
industrial economy stage to the point where it has become the world’s first
service economy. Almost three-fourths of the nonfarm labor force is employed in
service industries, and over two-thirds of the nation’s gross national product
is accounted for by services. Also, service jobs typically hold up better during
a recession than do jobs in industries producing tangible goods. During the 20-year period of 1966 to 1986, about 36 million new jobs were created in the United States—far more than in Japan and Western Europe combined. About 90 percent of these jobs were in service industries. During this same time span, some 22 million women joined the labor force—and 97 percent of these women went to work in the service sector. These employment trends are expected to continue at least until the year 2010. For the pe A. (A) services are more important than industries producing tangible goods B. (B) services are important C.
