One of the branches of the United Nations is the International Labor Organization (ILO), which, among other duties, compiles data from the global job market. These data show the dominance of the service sector over the agricultural and manufacturing sectors with respect to the number of people employed. Globally, it is estimated that by the end of 2017 about 46% of the job market will be engaged in service sector activities -- but if only developed economies are considered, the number rises to a staggering 74%. We are talking about three out of four workers. In light of technological advances, the agricultural sector -- a major source of income for underdeveloped countries -- employs an ever smaller share of the population.
