"But coffee servers and hotel clerks do not make a country strong..."

Scientists, accountants, salesmen, nurses, drivers, programmers, doctors and many others are in the service sector.

Good point. But the article said that the growth was in construction, retail, finance, insurance, and accommodation and food services.

Construction...that’s very good. And there is nothing wrong with working in those other fields. But those other fields are not, for the lack of a better word, muscular.

Disclaimer:
I grew up in a steel mill town. As a child I would see the night sky lit up from the blast furnaces. And in my youth I worked in a rolling mill for a couple of years. So I equate mills and factories with strength. Perhaps I am just trapped in a lost era.
