Employment in the service economy : a research report prepared for the Economic Council of Canada / by Gordon Betcherman et al. : EC22-172/1991E

Nowhere has the shift from goods to services been more striking than in the labour market. Forty years ago, most Canadians worked in the manufacturing sector. Today, over 70 per cent work in service industries. As a follow-up to the popular 1990 publication "Good Jobs, Bad Jobs", this report provides in-depth analysis on employment and the service economy and discusses questions such as: Why has employment in the service sector expanded so rapidly? Does the growth of services lead to more "good" jobs or more "bad" ones?
