Why is growth in service sector jobs less desirable than growth in manufacturing industry jobs?
What will be an ideal response?
U.S. job growth since the 1970s has been primarily concentrated in the service sector, but this job growth has been less beneficial from both a numbers and income standpoint than growth in manufacturing jobs. Although many in the service sector do well, there is a higher proportion of jobs (like food service or hotel staff) that pay less on average than low-level manufacturing jobs. Additionally, manufacturing jobs in general generate more related jobs and economic activity than service sector jobs. For example, car production not only requires workers to produce the cars, but also creates related jobs in sales and repair.
