service sector
Non-manufacturing industries collectively
The service sector is the part of an economy that produces services rather than goods—industries like healthcare, retail, finance, hospitality, and education.
It contrasts with the agricultural sector (farming, fishing) and the industrial sector (manufacturing, construction).
In developed economies, the service sector typically employs the majority of workers and generates most economic output.
The service sector now accounts for over 70% of GDP in most Western nations.
