I bet the amount of money off the books in the service industry is jaw-dropping. It makes perfect sense that this would be the case, and will continue to be. It's just too easy, and it's human nature. You have money in your pocket, and you have the choice to keep it, or simply "give some of it away."
I would assume this is where most of the (non-drug) 2 trillion in the article comes from, but that's such a mind-boggling number I can't really be sure. How much is the entire service industry worth?
