Answer:
Service jobs are those in industries that produce services rather than goods. They have replaced industrial jobs only partially; in the Appalachian region of America and in the industrial North of England, especially ex-coalmining communities, unemployment has replaced these jobs. Heavy industrial jobs were male jobs by and large, because of the gigantic physical strain they required. Even after improvements in safety and labour-saving machinery were introduced coal and steel remained difficult, dangerous and dirty. In fact the trajectory of jobs markets in the developed world has tended to follow this pattern: primary industry - secondary industry - service. Primary industries like coal and steel make the things everything else is made from. Their location tends to be on top of major deposits of coal or iron ore or both. They produce the materials on which secondary industry operates. Secondary industries produce goods themselves, often consumer rather than industrial goods. Detroit in the US and Sheffield in the UK are good examples. These industries have been outsourced essentially because labour is cheaper in the third world. As a result we in the first world no longer produce anything, we just sell each other the (frequently inferior) products made abroad. The fault lies not with the foreign workers or the mostly impotent foreign governments but with the corporations whose economic decisions are international. There was a time when service industries took up almost as high a proportion of British economic activities as they do now, and that time was before the first world war, when most British workers were in service in other people's houses. Food for thought.

Service industries generate over two-thirds of GNP and employment in developed countries, and their importance is growing in developing countries. The service industry here in UK is vast and employs millions of people and is far more important that any other sector of trade and industry. http://www.statistics.gov.uk/hub/business-energy/services/business-services http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/fsij http://www.ukwelcomes.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1083990576&site=2000&type=RESOURCES Hope the above links help explain the importance of the service industry sector which produces two thirds of GNP (Gross National Product).

Service jobs are low-paying jobs such as domestics, restaurants, store clerks, fast food sites, and self-service gas stations with in and out food marts. Industrial jobs were outsourced to Mexico and Asia where labor is much cheaper.
