Date of publication:
Sun, 1995-01-01 Historically, technological change and the
internationalization of markets have (a) reduced the
number of jobs in goods-producing industries
relative to service industries, (b) increased the

within occupations. In other words, technological
change generates a greater demand for more educated
workers and for the continuous retraining of these
workers.
