2 A recent report in The Economist suggests that in America, “an extraordinary growth in service jobs is projected into the future … these already account for 56% of all the jobs in the United States.” 24–30 November 1984, p. 24). To be sure, not all service sector work is low-paid. Some economists even suggest that income from service jobs will rise in the future. On the other hand, the more pessimistic seers “who fear a polarised America think especially in terms of the computer industry: highly-paid whizz-kids and professionals at the top and, at the bottom, clerks and janitors and people sweeping the print-outs off the floor, with few middle-range workers to be seen anywhere”Google Scholar (ibid.).
