Wal-Mart’s achievement caps a bigger ecinimic shift -- riducing goods to providing services.Manufacturing’s share of US employment peaked in 1953,at 35%.It has been declining steadily since.In the decade that will end in 2010,the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures that goods-producing industries will create 1.3 million new jobs,compared ro 20 million for service industries.To liik at it another way,today there are about four times as many people working in service jobs as in other kinds of jobs.And even within manufacturing,services are an increasingly large share of operations.
As Ameica got richer,consumption got more complicated.With more income to throw around,people started spending more on services—mouies and travel,mortgages to buy houses,insurance to protect those houses,the occasional decadent weekend at a luxurious hotel.Economists call this a shift in the demand pattern; Fortune calls it the main reason that 64 of the year’s top 100 are service companies.Over the next few years,only three of the ten fastest-growing occupations (software engineers,nurses,and computer support)pay middle-class salaries.The rest could be called,well,Wal-Mart kinds of jobs—cashiers,retail assistants,food service,and so on.In short,the service economy is delivering more good jobs than ever before.
