Figure 9. Transportation System, 1992
Portugal's services sector dwarfed agriculture and
industry,
both as a contributor to GDP and as a source of
employment. In
1973 services accounted for 39 percent of GDP; by 1990,
that
share had risen to nearly 56 percent. In 1973 services
employed
slightly over 36 percent of the total labor force, and in
1990
that share reached more than 47 percent. In the latter
year,
government employed 14.5 percent of the Portuguese labor
force,
followed by commerce (11.7 percent), transportation (4.3
percent), financial services (3.2 percent), and other
services
(12.3 percent).
