In Canada, we also have National Occupation Codes (I didn't google that for the USA), which can also shed light on occupational breakdown, and possibly not run into the same manufacturing/service issues.

My point from the beginning has been that looking at and possibly reorganizing the current classification system isn't an outrageous idea.
Is there a considerable economic difference between someone who solders two electronic components together and someone who heats a burger patty and throws lettuce on it? Why does the "immediate consumption" of the burger make it a service when, if that same burger was then frozen and packed off to the 7/11 for resale, it would be a manufactured good?
