  How Industries Differ, an Overview
Industries with high concentrations of professional, technical, and other jobs that require more formal education-occupations in which workers tend to leave their jobs less frequently-generally have fewer openings resulting from replacement needs.
Employment in goods-producing industries is expected to increase as growth in construction is partially offset by declining employment in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting; mining; and manufacturing.
However, industry consolidation and the growth of electronic commerce using the Internet are expected to limit job growth to 11 percent over the 2002-2012 period, less than the 15 percent projected for all industries.

 Draft definitions for New Information Industries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The general idea of an ''information economy'' includes both the notion of industries primarily producing, processing, and distributing information, as well as the idea that every industry is using available information and information technology to reorganize and make themselves more productive.
The Information sector groups three types of establishments: (1) those engaged in producing and distributing information and cultural products; (2) those that provide the means to transmit or distribute these products as well as data or communications; and (3) those that process data.
Broadcasting and telecommunications industries and information providers and processors are also included in the Information sector, because their technologies are so closely linked to other industries in the Information sector.
