Abstract
While economic policy makers and economists are quite vocal in praising the growth and overall economic importance of the service sector, its innovativeness and its large number of firm foundations, they often fail to provide the audience with actual figures on the service sector. This chapter gathers information from various statistics concerned with the service sector to offer data on some key topics often raised in economic policy.
