- partycoder 10y agoPost-industrial society is when services have a more important role in the economy than manufacturing. Doesn't mean manufacturing doesn't exist. Now, the world isn't uniform with respect to progress. There are still pre-industrial societies where most jobs are concentrated around agriculture, and industrial societies where all jobs concentrate in manufacturing.
