5.In the post-industrial era, service jobs were supposed to replace the manufacturing jobs lost to foreign competition, much as manufacturing employment once replaced the farm jobs lost to higher agricultural productivity. To theorists of the 1950\'s, this meant a transition from an economy based on dirty heavy industry to one based on clean, well-lit offices. No more Pittsburghs.

The sun is about to set on the post-industrial era due to Low service wages dragged down productivity growth rates, creating a productivity crisis that is still the focus of public policy debate.and Less demand of customised part or goods.The rapid expansion of the retail sector is the product primarily of the explosive growth in the numbers of working women.The growth in financial services (a major component of producers services) is easily explained by the telecommunication-computer revolution and the abolition of Government capital controls. Together they produced a world capital market with a wide array of new financial instruments.But the expansion in financial services is essentially a one-shot adjustment to these changes. When that adjustment is completed, and most of it is now behind us, employment growth automatically will slow down.

these all the fact that is reposible for sun set of post era and start the new era modern era.
