For example, for most of us the really bad newsis that unemployment is up and ri- - sing, possibly on‘ a spiral to- wards 100 per cent. But the economists have a different worry: that even those Cana- dians who are employed are not employed properly. The economists point out that, in 1931, about 56 per . cent of all Canadian workers were busy tuming out some form’ of ‘real goods. Today, the, percentage has fallen to only 41. per.cent..Or, to put the’same thing another way, clase to 60 per cent-o! “our workers are employed in jobs - “like barbering, television re- pairs, teaching or tourism known as service industries. This isn't the best possible news’ for Canadians because . the only way everyone’slife- style improves is for produc- tivity to: improve as well. Pro- ductivity in the service indus- tries can’ be increased over. - time, but it can’t be increased .- + quickly. Consequently. an “economy. which isheavily in volved in:the service trades can't improve its national as an economy which is more involved. with physical pro- duction. Before yousell your Cana- dian hotdings.and move to Ecuader, however, you de- serve some additional infor- mation. that the economists have largely ignored. The sta- tistical trends can be explain- ed by two social develop-. ments: the decline in agri- cultural employment and the rise in‘government employ- ment. Once agriculture and , goverment are eliminated from the labour, statistics, it turns out that employment in the commodity- producing sector has actually, gone up by.7 per cent while employ- ‘ment in the service indus- tries has fallen by the same “amount since’1931- If you find: the, increase “) in government employment and the decline in agricultu- ral employment. disturbing, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has some comforting thoughts. The : Federation ‘points out the future will be confined by the slower growth rate of. the economy. Meanwhile, as fossi! fuel costs go higher and higher, agriculture will redis- cover the value of human la- bour as opposed to machines. Agriculture’ is highly de- , Pendent, in its present form, on fossil fuels, Fossil fuels are used to make pesticides, fun- gicides, fertilizers and the ga- soline to run the machines. But there’s a growing trend ~ towards organic farming, the type that doesn’t use chemi- cal pesticides or fertilizers; this kind of farming needs more human labour. And, , with gasoline prices reaching ¢lose to a,dollar a gallon, al- 5; ready, it begins to make sense to use more workers ‘to re- + place machines in orthodox farming. About 6 per. cent of the Canadian work force is pre- sently involved: in’ farming. By 1990, the Canadian Fede- *: ration of Independent Busi.” ness believes, that figure... could reach 10 per cent.
