Top ten industries with the largest employment

Here is the list of the top ten industries with the largest employment. I was surprised at some of the rankings and how many employees they had. I always thought that retail would be at the top of the list but it was actually number 11! Educational services wasn’t really a surprise if you consider all the schools in the country, public or private. That is a lot of teachers and support positions that have to be filled. Number eight was a surprise according the government website there are 1.8 million people working in this field.
