S. economy has shifted from a goods-producing economy to a service- reducing market particularly in the area of knowledge management / technology. With the introduction of the computer in the 1980s, the information sector dominated economy as a desired service and its appeal has risen ever since.

As the Table shows, there was a deep 1980s recession and then a more shallow 1990s downturn, but following each of these drifts the employment trend again began to rise encouraged by innovation in the IT sector.


In short, the reasons given for the rise in employment during these years is: 1. Increased wages; 2. Rise in college gradates; 3. Increase in female employment; and 4. The rise of the service sector (particularly IT). This rise in employment, with breaks in the 1980s and a more subdued drop in the 1990s indicate this pattern.
