Using smallest space analysis we derive levels, paths, and rates of industrialization from the labor force distributions of 59 nations. Two smallest space dimensions are necessary to represent patterns of labor force change. The first reflects the overall level of industrialization; the second reveals a trade-off between the size of the manufacturing versus service sectors for nations at comparable levels of industrialization. After controlling for level of industrialization, we find that nations that emphasize manufacturing have more rapid rates of industrialization and higher status in the world system than nations that emphasize service industries
