Reply to comment by Sometimes_Stutters in [OC] GDP Breakdown by Economic Sectors (%) by giteam

Service sector has a such a broad definition, that you would count the security guard and the supervisors at factories as "service sector" employees and not "manufacturing sector" employees. Any job where you're not directly growing something or making a good is considered a service sector job.

That’s not at all how these numbers are produced…

I'm just explaining why the service sector contributes so much to the GDP. The value of a service doesn't need to be high, but the fact that so many people out there are creating services over goods could be why the contribution of the service sector is so high.

But that’s not at all how these numbers are calculated. It’s not on a per-employee output. It’s sector based. The individual jobs are totally irrelevant.

Those jobs are jobs in the service sector my guy. Jobs produce value. Value in the service sector in this case.
