I recently read a very interesting article in the business section on Forbes website, written on 09/08/2011 by James S. Henry. Mr. Henry reports on global issues as an economist, attorney, and journalist. Here is a table that he has compiled using data from the U.S. Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics. It shows the top 30 gaining and losing business sectors. Private Clubs hired approximately 342,000 people making it the 13th highest for the last decade.
