Employment in services (% of total employment)Neither end is better — this is a shape, not a scorePublished by International Labour Organization (ILO)
35 reference years (1991–2025), covering 182 to 187 countries, produced by the ILO and pulled through the World Bank’s indicator API (SL.SRV.EMPL.ZS). The share of working people employed in services — trade, transport, finance, public administration and everything else that is neither farming nor industry. ⚠ NEITHER END IS BETTER, and this is the share where that matters most: the category covers a software industry and street vending alike. With agriculture and industry it completes the three-sector split, and the three sum to 100. ⚠ MODELLED, not measured. ⚠ The ILO ranks nobody, so no rank is stored; the POSITION on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score and labelled as ours.

The share of working people employed in services — trade, transport, finance, public administration and everything else that is neither farming nor industry — an ILO modelled estimate served through the World Bank's indicator API (SL.SRV.EMPL.ZS). ⚠ Neither end is better, and this is the share where that matters most: it covers a software industry and street vending alike. With agriculture and industry it completes the three-sector split, and the three sum to 100. The ILO does not rank countries on it, so no rank is stored and none is derived.
