Any work is a real job, but there is no way Service work is a producing factor in an economy.
You are dependant on others not doing for themselves for the most part.
Producing jobs create the means to do for yourself or improve your position, even to create stuff for a service industry to use in their service.
The only serice jobs that 'might' be considered producing are those that are too complex for the average person to perform themselves...like carpentry in my case! (I cant make a doghouse!)
Not doing for themselves? There are only so many hours in the day, not everyone can do everything themselves. And some needed services can not be done by oneself.
Producing jobs create the means to do for yourself or improve your position, even to create stuff for a service industry to use in their service.
In other words, producing the needed stuff for them to be traitors!
The only serice jobs that 'might' be considered producing are those that are too complex for the average person to perform themselves...like carpentry in my case!
Carpentry, while providing a service, is a production job. At the end of the day there is a tangible product that has been produced.
