On the other hand, Germany was composed of 60% of industrial craftsment, whereas the rest had approxiametly 50% to 40%. Employees in the service sector were the most in Germany and China, as they accounted for nearly 50%. USA and Japan were not far behind, with the former having just under 50% and the latter almost 40%.
