The service sector in the Canadian economy / Industry, Science and Technology Canada.: Iu33-4/1989E-PDF
"The prime reason for the strong current interest in the service sector is its phenomenally rapid post war growth. The results of the research confirm this rapid relative growth and determine that it represents an evolutionary process occurring since at least the beginning of the 20th century. In the post-war years, the share of total employment in Canada accounted for by service sector employment increased from 40% in 1946 to over 70% in the 1980's. The service sector's share of output also increased sharply, though less so than in employment terms, rising from about one half of total output to about two-thirds of the total since 1946"--page 2.
