Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The service industry is another name for the tertiary sector of the economy. This sector sells the commodities made by the secondary sector and provides commercial services to the general public as well as enterprises from all five economic sectors. Examples include doctors, teachers, lawyers, estate agents, travel agents, accountants and policemen.

The last question can be seen in two ways.

This country's growth would be accelerated; with so many people working these occupations, there would be greater opportunity for people to succeed.

On the other hand, if all of a country's jobs are in this industry, the government will almost certainly default on its debt. These are all high-paid occupations, therefore employing humans to do any of them would be prohibitively expensive for any government. This would most certainly stifle progress.
