"This volume presents the details of the Council's research on employment and the service economy. It considers the topics highlighted in Good Jobs, Bad Jobs in much more depth and with the benefit of an additional year of analysis. The first part of this report is concerned with the nature of service industries, how they are changing, and their growing linkages to the goods sector. The second part addresses a set of trends that are redefining the labour market as employment becomes increasingly concentrated in service industries: the problems certain groups are experiencing in adjusting to the changing industrial structure, the proliferation of nonstandard jobs, the growth of work with high skill content, the increasing importance of training and education, and the polarization of earnings. In the third part, the recommendations put forward by the Council in Good Jobs, Bad Jobs are reproduced"--Foreword, page ix.
