Work history.1990 - present
 
     
  1990 represents in many ways the "high point" in many white collar industries and previously high labour industries.  
  By 1990, approximately 1 in 3 people employed around the world were involved in service type work, with only 25% employed in agriculture. This profile of course is skewed given a large number of nations have heavy agriculture, while advanced nations are more likely to have 2 out of every 3 jobs being in a service industry .
