Probably mentioned somewhere else on this forum but Dorgan and Dodd are not going to run in 2010. There's a story out there that Ed Schultz is going to run in ND.

Meh. "Goods producing" excludes the service economy (granted, that includes some pretty worthless employment) and neither chart really means much unless adjusted for population (guessing that government employment as a percentage has gone up faster than the population btw). And the military seems to have been excluded. The government (federal, state and local???) for WW2 seems to be something like 6 or 7 million, so that can't include the 8 million who were in the armed services at that time.

Sure, crap jobs flipping burgers and mowing lawns are part of the service economy but so are fields like software engineering and pharmacy.

Software engineering is part of service economy? How do you figure? Maybe some portion but not all as I can assure of that.

I thought so as well. A draft Ed Shultz movement apparently has started in ND.

Not at all a scientific sample, but compare this to this for the results numbers. But, sure, it could be argued both ways.

And don't try to tell me that "service economy" fast food doesn't taste manufactured.

Contributes to both but there's definitely a significant portion of software engineering effort put into producing goods.

I agree though that there is a lot more to the USA service economy than flipping burgers. In fact manufacturing goods as the engine of employment in the USA is long gone, has been, and that will continue to be the case. That's not necessarily a bad thing either FWIW.
