It is unlikely because we have what seems like an endless demand for services. We have people who pluck the hair from our eyebrows and cut our nails as well as take care of our children and clean our homes while we "work" performing some service for other people. It has been a long time since manufacturing was a the dominate part the economy, it is now 12% but it was only 20% in 1970 and we still make almost as much stuff because the introduction of computers has made it more efficient.
