Deindustrialization and shifts in consumer demand have led to the tertiary sector playing an increasingly important role in employment. The United States and the United Kingdom are often used as a basis for comparison with European countries due to their divergence in employment performance (see for example Piketty, 1998; Gadrey and Jany-Catrice, 1998; OECD, 2000) and the fact that their employment growth is essentially due to the growth of the service sector. For example Freeman and Schettkat (2000, p. 175) compare low-wage service employment in Germany and the United States and conclude that there are fewer low-skill service jobs in Germany compared with the United States and that ‘this difference is closely linked to Germany’s overall lower employment to population rate compared to the USA’.
