What should be the ideal GDP composition of USA?

Quote from jagadish:

agriculture: 1.2%
industry: 21.9%
services: 76.9% (2009 est.)

Depends on how you want the US to exist as. If you want us to be completely dependent on ourselves then..

Agri 10%
Industry 45%
Services 45%

But actually the wealthiest countries that have the highest standard of living seem to have very very high services.

Luxomburg where the average income is about $80k

agriculture: 0.4%
industry: 13.6%
services: 86%

In Hong Kong Services represent almost 92% of their GDP and only 8% industry and they are doing about 10 times better than their chinese brothers who only have 46% industry and 42% services.

Of course its not always that way. Norways GDP (about 55k income per capita vs our $45k) looks like this.
agriculture: 2.1%
industry: 39.5%
services: 58.3%
