Answer 1

d. 80% to 90%

Statistics from March 2017 indicate that the service sector accounts for 81% of employment in the United States. This is because primary and secondary sector jobs have declined in the United States since resources and manufactured goods are commonly imported from other countries. The tertiary or service sector involves industries such as entertainment, retail, tourism, dining, law, healthcare and transportation.
